Abstract

This paper addresses the importance of pocket parks in the context of urban planning, highlighting their impact on residents' quality of life. It analyzes the need for an equitable distribution of these green spaces within urban areas and proposes the use of geospatial analysis as a tool to detect potential imbalances in their distribution. It also discusses the impact of pocket parks on key aspects such as social interaction, community cohesion, and the physical health of residents. The paper includes a review of the specialized literature and an analysis of the regulatory framework governing pocket parks in Colombia. Overall, pocket parks play an important role in improving people's quality of life, as they provide accessible recreational space, foster the integration of children, youth, and adults, and promote physical and leisure activities in a healthy environment. However, deficiencies were also identified in terms of security, drug-related problems, gang formation, and, in some cases, deterioration of recreational facilities.
