ABSTRACT
In light of changing urban conditions, urban green space (UGS) planning has been concerned with how to introduce and institutionalise new governing policies that encourage particular UGS qualities and forms. Employing environmental justice as an analytical concept, we investigated how urban transformations have shaped Vienna’s UGS policies, it’s institutional setting as well as outcomes in terms of just provision. Vienna has maintained a high share of UGS – mostly large scale – including longstanding, uneven patterns. Recently, the City increased its efforts to implement more diverse UGS – small to micro scale – addressing multiple needs in light of the climate crisis.
