| Resumo: | Mexico City faces earthquakes, floods and pandemics. Green spaces have been used during these phenomena, however, the role they play in the reduction of vulnerability is often unrecognized. The aim of this paper is to identify and describe the different uses that public green spaces in Mexico City have had facing these emergencies through a hemerographic research. The punctual uses were categorized in order to understand the different functions that green spaces have that allow favorable conditions over the mitigation of the urban social emergencies effects. The benefits that directly diminish the emergency, as well as the indirect ones that benefits on social well-being are presented and discussed. The need to incorporate these uses to disaster management plans and architectural landscape programs to reduce vulnerability is highlighted. |
