Abstract

Highlights: Creating green wedges should be considered when development is progressing. Wildflower meadows can be established in areas with high plot ratio. Urbanised areas require development of a Green Urban Plan. Evaluation of urban green area deficit can be elaborated by using GIS techniques. The concept of green infrastructure should be developed in urbanised areas. Abstract: Urban areas require more investment to maintain greenery. Greener areas are becoming increasingly attractive to stakeholders. As a result, urban parks are more valuable. Therefore, sustainable development policies and spatial planning are essential for all major cities in the world. Assessing the accessibility of green spaces requires appropriate countermeasures. This review article examines ways to improve the well-being of residents in public green spaces and in zones with potential social conflicts. Using GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques, spatial changes can be directed. A high green plot ratio was found to be associated with the establishment of green wedges. With our methodology, we can adapt the urban greenery to the estate layout, design an urban greening plan, and develop solutions to eliminate inaccurate management. To ensure that society preserves its valuable landscapes and cultural assets through lasting greenery, a green wedge must be carefully tended. Graphical abstract: Image, graphical abstract
