    Elements of culture and prestige, green spaces are, above all, a means of access for all or part of the population to a protected and maintained natural space, dedicated in particular to recreational or decorative purposes. Generally defined as “open and accessible spaces planted with plants”, green spaces include urban parks, monuments, gardens, playgrounds, street trees, etc.; green spaces play numerous roles in urban environments. In the urban planning of the city of Bujumbura, a legacy of colonization (now the economic capital of Burundi), the colonizers intended green spaces for a green urban living environment, allowing for relaxation and beautifying the city. It boasts green spaces linked to its political identity, historical and cultural monuments, and important plant landscapes that bear witness to the value of its past. To this end, it would be preferable to pay particular attention to this heritage with a view to preserving and enhancing it, as it can contribute, on the one hand, to stabilizing the foundations of the Burundian people's culture and identity, and, on the other hand, contribute as a source of income to the country's development. The city of Bujumbura must have a distinct architectural appearance, a green city adorned with trees and flowers, roads with clear rights-of-way allowing easy, unobstructed traffic, the area of various networks available to facilitate operation by network concessionaires, and buildings erected in strict compliance with standards and best practices. A city built according to a planned order with the aim of rationalizing green spaces and allowing for its growth.
