Urban greenspaces provide diverse ecosystem functions, services and benefits to
residents. Much commentary has been offered to date about citizens' demands for
more urban greenspace. Less attention, however, has been given to the 'supply
side' pressures experienced by local government in delivering urban greenspace,
particularly in mid-sized cities. Greater attention to factors shaping supply is
warranted, especially in the context of rapid population growth. By understanding
how existing greenspace provision approaches can stymie the efforts of local
government to meet citizens' needs, new approaches can be identified. This paper
assesses several factors shaping urban greenspace provision in Surrey - a city
within the Greater Vancouver area. Insights are derived from in-depth interviews
with key stakeholders, public documents, and census and municipal data about
parks and their context as a specific type of greenspace. Our findings suggest
that governance tools, economy and property markets, and financial and natural
resources manifest as core factors influencing urban greenspace provision in
Surrey. A reliance on governance tools premised upon standards has created park
provision paradoxes. Treating greenspace provision as a largely technocratic
exercise may be limiting Surrey's ability to respond to changing politics,
economics and population trends. We point to alternative approaches.
