Abstract Urban Green Spaces (UGS) are providing multiple health related ecosystem services (ES) to Public Health by improving quality of life (QoL) and well-being. The aim of research is to provide an insight of UGS in Novi Sad, and its potential to support public health, using publicly available data. Novi Sad, as the capital of Vojvodina Province (Republic of Serbia), region with the lowest percentage of forests, needs to provide enough UGS for healthy living. The best example for this goal is one of the greenest urban areas- Brussels with 79.00km2 of UGS. The results showed that City of Novi Sad has 39.02km2 of UGS, while lowest percentage of green areas is found in the city center core, and highest in family-oriented city blocks, which is characteristic even for green cities such as Brussels. Although the distribution and positioning of UGS in Novi Sad is well planned, additional actions for improvement of the amount, quality accessibility is needed, which is supported by the City Council for green spaces of Novi Sad. Considering the lack of the green spaces in the core center of Novi Sad, the potential for creation of new green areas in such urbanized environment lies in roof and vertical greening, and community-based gardens. In light of the biodiversity loss and the climate change, the importance of various policies that include sustainable development and growth as well as preserving nature and biodiversity (SDG8, SDG11, Green Deal, etc.) is rising. It is important to define natural, sustainable, and unobtrusive methods for public health, well-being and QoL improvement, which is also important in the circumstances of Covid pandemic. The introduction of more green areas and community-based gardening in cities would improve the ES of UGS. These actions would have indirect and direct positive effect on public and individual health of local population, as well as the potential to decrease the loss of biodiversity and the effects of climate change on microscale.
