Bendegúz Vöröss and Péter Leczovics and Géza Baráth}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Urban greenery has multiple positive effects both on the city and its residents. Apart from the visual advantages, it changes the micro-climate by cooling and shading, also increasing vapor and oxygen, reducing dust and carbon-dioxide content at the same time. The above are all critical factors of livability of an urban fabric. Unfortunately, in a dense, historical district there are restricted possibilities to build green surfaces. The present study collects and systemizes the applicable green solutions in the case of a historical downtown district of Budapest. The study contains a GIS-based measurement of the eligible surfaces for greenery, and also calculates the potential of oxygen production, carbon-dioxide reduction and cooling effect of an increased green surface. It can be concluded that increasing the green surface has measurable effects on a densely built urban fabric, including air quality, micro-climate and other environmental factors. }, journal = {International Journal of Architectural and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {13}, number = {3}, year = {2019}, pages = {176 - 182}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10010157}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/147}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 147, 2019}, }
