Abstract
Much research has documented green space inequities, but no review has examined their determinants holistically. To address this gap, we conduct a narrative review to synthesize the historical and recent mechanisms contributing to green space inequities in U.S. cities. We identify 77 publications covering this topic and find that two complementary macro-mechanisms shape green space inequities: residential segregation and unequal green space investments. Historical mechanisms include racial residential segregation, redlining, and postwar suburbanization. More recent mechanisms include nonprofits’ involvement in green space provision, green gentrification, and contemporary plans. Moving toward green space equity requires addressing both historical and current mechanisms.
