In an increasingly urbanised economic environment, with more and more cities, there
is a strong incentive for people to seek innovative local solutions to reduce their
exposure to the risks of climate change. Accelerating urbanisation affects people
in different ways, increasing exposure to the impacts of climate change. Air and surface
temperatures in urban built-up areas are higher than in surrounding rural areas, leading
to increasing urban heat islands. The more favourable economic environment has led
people to move from rural to urban areas, and urbanisation has resulted in a mix of
agricultural land, commercial and transport centres, industrial estates, industrial
parks, transport hubs and coherent residential communities, housing estates, health
and education facilities. The need to develop urban living space and its feasibility
within a framework of sustainability requires a systemic, historical approach. In
this article, we present the results of our survey in the parks of residential areas
in Debrecen and the impact of contiguous green space on the microclimate. Through
our computational methodology, we illustrate the influence of green space rehabilitation
and innovative park developments adaptable to the urban environment on property value
growth in a booming economic environment.
