Abstract
Urban green spaces play a vital role in enhancing public health and quality of life in growing cities. This research project aims to assess the impact of urban green spaces on public health within the context of a rapidly expanding city. The study focuses on understanding how the availability and quality of green spaces influence various aspects of public health, such as physical activity levels, mental well-being, social cohesion, and overall community health outcomes. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, an exploration of urban planning strategies, and empirical data collection, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the relationship between urban green spaces and public health in the context of urban growth.
