Green spaces in Pristina and their relation with air quality
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
In 2019, according to IQAIr, Prishtina was ranked as the third capital city in Europe with the highest air pollution.
From this ranking, many questions arise about the factors that cause air pollution in the crossroads, and the possible solutions to this problem.
Looking at the problem from an urbanism point of view, one of the solutions could be the addition of green spaces in the capital.
According to the WHO standard, the minimum space needed for greenery is 9m2 per person.
The study aims to identify the green spaces of Pristina and compare them with the necessary spaces based on the number of inhabitants.
In addition to the current green spaces, the aim is to identify abandoned lots that can be transformed and re-planted tall greenery, creating a sustainable ecological corridor, within a wider urban strategy.
Other aspects that have been considered are public open spaces, and their distance from residents based on neighborhoods, according to the idea of the 15-minute city.
