Svännel, J.; Sang, Å.O.; Sang, N.; Sjöman, J.D.; Jansson, M.

Abstract

This chapter outlines how digital systems and tools can support urban open space (UOS) governance and management and discusses important factors to consider when building a strategy in relation to future trends and routes to progress. A key conclusion is that digital technology can aid in documenting and analysing data, generating new knowledge for UOS governance and management and presenting and communicating the values and benefits that UOS provide. However, the use of digital technology needs to be underpinned by clear aims and well-structured and well-developed data infrastructure.
