A complex landscape of inequity in access to urban parks: A literature review
Abstract
Access to parks is conceptualized based on parameters of park proximity, acreage and quality. Ethnic minority groups have slightly better access to parks in terms of proximity. Striking inequities exist for parameters of park acreage and quality. Landscape planning strategies can target specific inequities related to proximity, acreage, or quality.
