Research of urban park planning countermeasures in the perspective of inclusive cities

Differences in the distribution of social benefits and economic status can lead to health and power inequalities for the lower income strata. Parks are a product of citizens' rights and are an essential urban space for the urban life of the low-income strata. In addition, problems are increasingly evident in terms of residential segregation and the density of low-income people caused by unequal economic status. It is therefore important to understand the current distribution of parks in areas with dense low-income strata and the needs of residents to use them. Inclusive cities emphasise that everyone in the city should have equal access to public space. Emphasis is placed on improving the living environment and enhancing the quality of life of the city as a whole through urban planning and redevelopment. In other words, the essence of the concept of inclusive urban parks is that everyone should have equal access to the benefits of green space in parks. However, the current unevenness of park use reveals differences in the number of users and social status of other groups. A deeper manifestation is the difference in access. In addition, the privileged and elite enjoy the advantages of parkland through capital and policy advantages. The disadvantaged and low-income classes, on the other hand, have reduced access to parkland through a combination of capital disadvantage and policy discrimination. This thesis aims to improve the living environment in areas with a high concentration of low-income people, and to explore realistic policy and planning directions for achieving inclusive cities.
