Green spaces are a key element of a quality urban environment and make an important contribution to sustainable urban development, as they affect all three pillars of sustainability – economic, environmental and social. Urban areas often have problems of lacking green spaces, which makes their planning particularly important. The city of Kranj, as an example of dense settlement and strategically guided sustainable development is appropriate example for examining the importance of green spaces.
The aim of the thesis was to examine the importance of green spaces for sustainable urban development using the city of Kranj as a case study, where the two main research methods are a survey of Kranj residents and an analysis of two strategic documents, namely the Trajnostna urbana strategija Mestne občine Kranj 2030 and Trajnostna urbana strategija Mestne občine Kranj 2030+ . Based on the findings, the thesis gives recommendations for further development and improvement of green spaces planning in Municipality of Kranj.
