Abstract

Abstract: Recently, new planning tools have emerged to support urban landscape planners in achieving sustainability through optimizing the urban greening scheme. Some cities have approved the green factor tool to increase the quantity and quality of urban green spaces. This greening scheme is considered suitable for a relatively dense city where challenging to provide adequate urban green areas. This short communication challenges the usefulness of the green factor tool and how it relates to the existing urban green space planning procedures through a qualitative case study in Jakarta, Indonesia. The result shows that while the green factor tool performs well, improvements could be made primarily in convincing stakeholders regarding the new paradigm in calculating green areas in relatively dense urban areas. Furthermore, trials in actual cases need to be carried out to examine the formula's effectiveness. Regarding the usefulness of this tool, we conclude that while increasing the number of green areas, improving its quality is more necessary to build resilient infrastructures.
