A key message to emerge from Greencluster is that the research community is able to develop highly relevant tools for urban development. There is, however, a need to improve the structures for communication between researchers and those responsible for putting research into practice. The Greencluster exercise resulted in the development of a wide range of practical tools which, it is hoped, will enhance the capacity of city managers, public authorities and enterprises to plan and design urban green and open space in different climatic and cultural contexts. These included new developments in the area of decision support systems, participatory planning tools, the use of spatial concepts, GIS and remote-sensing applications, spatial and climatic modelling and compensation principles. The cities involved in the five projects are already using and implementing the results of the work carried out. It is hoped that this practice will gradually spread and that, in time, the tools produced will help to support the improved planning and maintenance of urban green spaces throughout the world.
