Gardens as an integrating element of human beings in the metropolis
Abstract
Nowadays, landscapes and gardens are able to stimulate people in every field of knowledge. Landscape depends on human being’s existence, as they are the recipients of both the natural and artificial elements that constitute them. It’s also a concept that gives meaning to our environment and our relationship with it.
In relation to actual urbanism, “green spaces” have spread and replaced traditional gardens, as we will explain later, these are not the same and don’t fulfil the same functions. Although the World Health Organization considered these green spaces as essential and necessary in cities, on many occasions they are built under urbanistic speculation’s perspective, ignoring its relationship with their natural and cultural environment.
