Urban green spaces (UGS) are increasingly recognized as vital components of urban ecosystems, contributing significantly to the health and wellbeing of city dwellers. This article explores the multifaceted relationships between urban green spaces and community wellbeing, emphasizing physical health, mental resilience, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. Through a critical review of contemporary literature and case studies from diverse urban settings, the study investigates how access, quality, and equity in green space distribution affect different dimensions of wellbeing. The paper concludes by identifying key policy recommendations and planning strategies to enhance the role of UGS in fostering healthier and more inclusive urban communities.
