1.1 The Early Profession

Content: For instance, although urban densification at the cost of decreasing area of parks and other public open spaces may perhaps seem to be a good approach at the regional level, it might have some serious negative effects at the local level. Hence the Regional Structure Plan of The Hague Region identifies numerous functions and better quality public space, in addition to a limited sprawl in a planned way which leads to integrated polycentric development as useful strategies to maintain quality of life in dense areas. The matter of urban density versus green space is an instance of the capable clash between climate change improvement and adaptation concerns. For the reduction of energy by decreasing demands in travel and heating requirements, if multiplying density indicates the loss of green space, one effect would be the loss of an important adaptation resource. For instance, if the number of heavy rainstorms is increased, it can cause repeated issues with flooding that will be risky in areas having insufficient open spaces allowing infiltration of water. In addition to this, the urban heat island effect is likely to strengthen more common temperature extremes in urban environments if the average temperatures change in the future. According to the results obtained for the city of Manchester, even a 10% increment in the green space would balance the worst-case temperature scenario by 2080. A judicious discussion of the view encouraged by the European Commission policy on urban planning and sustainability is thus required. New concepts need to be brought in for making compact cities more attractive so that residents who leave the compact cities for living in better environments in the urban fringe can be stopped. The main plan is to deal with suburbanization processes by improving the city and quality of life to keep the residents in the city center.
