文摘内容 Urban greening, urban forestry and urban green structure planning all look at a city as a unit and intend to improve the status of green space in the city. Even though they are new terms, their concepts have evolved over a rather long period. This paper presents a historical review of western concepts for urban greening since the 1850s. The first aim is to establish an overview of how the urban greening concept has developed and what the relationships are between the historical concepts and urban greening, urban forestry and urban green structure planning today. The secondary purpose is to understand some key issues for urban greening through the examination of historical precedents. Based on a literature review, the paper presents several historical concepts for urban greening - rampart area planning, park system, green belts, green wedges and greenways. The new concept of urban green structure is also introduced. Each concept is defined.The social background and the influence on city development are described. The review shows that the concept of urban greening has a long history, parallel with the development of the city planning concepts.The scope of urban greening has become larger over the past years. The functions of urban green space have changed from single-purpose to multi-purpose. The study indicates that historical concepts may still give inspiration in today's urban greening process。
