One of the conceptions in planning of spatial-functional Systems, i.e. towns and regions, is that of sustainable, or balanced, development. It derives straight from the generał theory of eąuilibrium that has been developed in economy, and its specificity lies in the fact that economic eąuilibrium has been transferred to man's ecological system, if we define as such all kinds of spatial structural-functional set-ups, in which he lives and carries out his ac- tivities. The popularity of the concept of sustainable development stems from the conviction that it is only in balanced spatial-functional set-ups where the relations among man, naturę and the economy can be molded most effectively in the times of highly dynamie urbanization processes, ones of a great variety of Controls of economic development and social change, as well as of ecological threats. The aim of the present article is to discuss the role of green spaces in the sustainable development of towns and the functions they perform for their inhabitants and the entire urban socio-ecological system.
