Introduction In the context of escalating public health crises in megacities, promoting green and healthy urban spatial development is crucial. It not only contributes to economic growth environmental sustainability but also significantly impacts residents. Methods This study utilized land use data from 2000 2021 Chongqing, China, investigate characteristics patterns change space distribution. Spatial analysis methods were employed, an econometric model was constructed analyze mechanisms these changes, considering factors such as drivers, governmental regulation, social dynamics. Results The results reveal that spaces Chongqing metropolitan area are primarily concentrated inner suburbs with limited distribution central areas, exhibiting a distinct gradient. overall size has been decreasing, particularly suburbs. primary this reduction include edge erosion suburbs, inward contraction minor perforation new towns. Discussion indicates industrial growth, dominant contributing spaces. impact dynamics, demand, appears be relatively insignificant. Conversely, government planning policies investments play crucial role protection These findings emphasize need for effective strategies prioritize conservation expansion enhance megacities.

Urban green space has a critical impact on the urban ecological environment, residents’ health, and sustainability. Quantifying residential exposure to proposing targeted enhancement strategies in areas is helpful rationally plan construction, reduce inequality space, promote environmental equity. However, long-time evolution analysis of at different scales influence quality are rarely reported. Here we produced series dataset from 1990 2020 based 30 m Landsat data used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as representation comprehensively analyze city block within 5th ring Beijing, China. We found that Beijing mainly distributed between 4th rings (i.e., 153.4 km2 2020), there little 2nd area 12.6 2020).

Access to urban green space (UGS) is associated with a number of physical and social benefits. Recognizing the importance UGS access for people's wellbeing, several methods have been proposed model accessibility highlight areas underserviced by UGS. However, existing methodologies limitations. Models often make use universal, normative maximum travel distances, which may not reflect distances people actually reach they regularly visit. Additionally, many these analyses do consider quality, will largely influence experience spaces act as pull factor affecting distance are willing visit Those that integrate quality rely on proxies, such size or amenities, fail perceived quality. To address limitations, we propose methodology integrates user perception actual prepared into quality-accessibility (QA) analysis applied at building block scale. Information gathered from public participation GIS survey conducted in Brussels Capital Region. The results inequalities specific, essential experiences throughout region.

Abstract Urban parks are essential components of urban ecosystems, providing vital ecological resources for city residents. However, the rapid expansion high-density areas has led to an unequal distribution park resources, raising growing concerns about spatial equity. To address these challenges, we employed improved Gaussian two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, considering quality variations and integrating sentiment scores from reviews calculate a comprehensive accessibility index, accounting both supply demand dynamics among users. The results demonstrate significance management, as users prioritise convenience cleanliness public facilities. Recreational significantly influences equity, with near Beijing’s initial greenbelt zone showing (IA). Nonetheless, our analysis exposes disparities in resource allocation within Chaoyang District, indicating relative inequity.

Green space resources, in the context of urbanisation, cannot meet actual needs residents well, and study balance green resource allocation based on relationship between supply demand is an urgent problem to be solved. This quantitatively evaluates level from four dimensions by constructing a framework for assessment community life circle. It also matching demand, distribution fairness, equilibrium under group differentiation through supply–demand coupling matrix, Gini coefficient, Kruskal–Wallis H non-parametric rank-sum test, respectively. shows that: (1) A significant spatial imbalance exists circles different dimensions. (2) The comprehensive circle matched total low degree. (3) There was inequality within (the coefficient each evaluation perspective >0.4). Based results, we were able identify with mismatches, other problems, which great significance urban research planning practice ‘green justice’ framework.

Green spaces are important elements of cities due to their benefits residents' physical health, mental health and development, social connections. Residents more likely experience green space when they use them frequently usage increases amenities accessible. Because lower-income households often have less reliable access automobiles, examining solely on the road network is inadequate. Do across socioeconomic spectrum pedestrian bicycle networks? After estimating residential locations (origins) from U.S. Census data park other (destinations) City Albuquerque data, we connect two using service area analyses in a geographic information system (GIS). Findings suggest that overall concern since than 50% residents within 400 m, indicating levels below those recommended by World Health Organization. Park accessibility relatively equally distributed for low-, middle-, high-income both networks. Access source possible inequity with having five times non-park low-income households.
