چکیده

Urban green spaces play a significant and varied role for preserving high quality of urban life in increasingly urbanized societies. They provide wide range of advantages that support health and subjective well-being of city residents. In many cases, however, these benefits are not fairly distributed across diverse urban populations. This paper presents an overview of the role of urban greenery for city dwellers and discusses the shortage of similar studies in post-transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe, on the example of Poland. The main aim is to take a look on how urban natural settings can be planned and managed in ways that are more meaningful to different groups of people. The results of different studies provide us with knowledge on how to plan and design green spaces for various demographic and socio-economic cohorts in modern cities, although there is still a significant deficiency of dedicated researches, particularly in less developed countries.
