A most important question of currant urban development is to trigger different possibilities of creating urban green spaces in cities and densely built up areas. Open green spaces have various positive effects on microclimate, energy-balance and also on social and physiological issues. The aim of the current paper is to sum up the results of latest researches, and among them a case study, which aims at proving the effectiveness of vegetative shading and cooling
