ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE PARK: A SOLUTION TO IMPROVE THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Sustainable urban parks have the basis of their sustainable economy by emphasizing the provision of green raw materials in the environment. Because the economy of sustainable parks has an ecological cycle model in which access to raw materials is possible only through production and consumption with recycling. Therefore, more investment should be made in green areas, including sustainable parks and the focus of economic investments should be gradually shifted from costly and destructive industrial sectors to environmentally friendly green sectors that can lead to more economic production at the same time. It is obvious that the implementation of such an economic development model can be easier and less risky in areas that have a greater share of natural capital. For this purpose, this article examines four components of economic and environmental benefits in a sustainable park through factors such as 1- Energy efficiency and reduction of power transmission costs to sustainable parks. 2- Reducing the demand for buying non-sustainable materials in the environment of sustainable urban parks. 3- Reducing the per capita costs of water consumption in sustainable parks. 4- The design of economic planting of plants in the green landscape of the park is discussed.
