Preferred term

open space

Open space, a concept employed to offset or counterbalance unchecked urban expansion, refers to the conservation of landscapes retaining characteristics of presettlement environments, pastoral agricultural lands, or restored areas meant to re-create or mirror such landscapes. Open spaces typically are formed or protected at the local level through the neglect of commons, the establishment of private land trusts, conservation planning, or active rehabilitation of abandoned or contaminated brownfields.
