Atmosphere, Vol. 11, Pages 510: Air Quality in Brno City Parks Atmosphere doi: 10.3390/atmos11050510 Authors: Huzlík Hegrová Effenberger Ličbinský Brtnický Parks embody an important element of urban infrastructure and a basic type of public space that shapes the overall character of a city. They form a counterweight to built-up areas and public spaces with paved surfaces. In this context, parks compensate for the lack of natural, open landscapes in cities and thus have...
