Dette er baseret på en undersøgelse af det fysiske og det producerede rum i de to urbane grønne områder, og de nuværende kommunale strategier, som dækker det emne fra Aalborg Kommune. Konklusionen inkluderer de urbane grønne områders potential for at styrke den sociale bæredygtighed for de lokale borger og danner en række anbefalinger til at inkludere social bæredygtighed i de kommunale strategier og planlægningsprocesser.

This thesis is based on a comparative case study consisting of two urban green areas geographically located within the so-called Growth Axis in Aalborg, Denmark. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how social sustainability can be included in municipal strategies in a way that includes the residents of Aalborg and their preferences for their local urban green areas. This is based on an examination of the physical and produced space within the two urban green areas, and the current municipal strategies covering this topic from Aalborg Municipality. The conclusion considers the urban green areas' potential for strengthening social sustainability for the local residents and a range of recommendations for including social sustainability in municipal strategies and planning processes. This is based on the data collected through this study, and the considerations from the three sub-questions.
