Abstract
Urban green public spaces offer healthy and environmentally friendly solutions to the effects of rapid, unsustainable urbanization on health and well-being. Public green spaces available for walking, running, cycling, scootering, walking, informal play and other outdoor activities can improve the safe mobility and access to basic ecosystem, improving the health equity. Understanding the relationship between public urban green space characteristic and sustainability components can help the planning of these spaces. Nowadays, quantifying the impact of green spaces on health is receiving more and more attention in various interdisciplinary research activities. In this paper, we analysed the impact of proximity to urban green areas on health and well-being of the people in two Hungarian cities Debrecen and Szeged. In the first, descriptive phase of our research, we examined the amount of green space in two cities of the same relative status, the satisfaction of their inhabitants with green space and life expectancy. One of the targets of SDG 11 is to provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities. Our research focuses on SDG 11.
