| dc.description.abstract | Urban green spaces play a vital role in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, and resilient. However, urban forestry and green spaces often receive limited attention in urban planning and admnistrstion. The primary objective of the study is to analyze the planning, policy, laws, and implementation strategies for urban green spaces in Addis Ababa, as well as the obstacles faced in the implementation process. The research incorporales both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were gathered through key informant interviews and field observations. Secondary data were obtained from Google Maps, satellite imagery, and a review of relevant literature, laws, policies, and Addis Ababa's structural plan. Existing policies and proclamations must be reinforced with Legislative regulations and comprehensive implementation frameworks to establish a foundation for actionable plans. Although stakeholders are engaged in similar green space development initiatives, they often operate within separate organizational structures. The city 's structural plan incorporates several principles for green space development, yet challenges persist in execution. Key informants have identified weak communication, rapid population growth, urbanization, and inadequate planning as significant obstacles to implementing green space projects. However, opportunities exist, including political commitment advancements in technology and the potential of existing green spaces, which can be further leveraged. | |
