abstract: Urban green space (UGS) fulfills an important role in our day to day lives. Performing all sorts of activities in these places which have a profoundly positive impact on our physical and mental health (Kabisch et al., 2015). With different levels of lockdowns across the globe, these places have become more important than ever. Although a lot of research has been done towards the availability of UGS in European cities never has the distribution within these cities been researched. By looking at six different cities with varying levels of UGS coverage per capita and visualizing the distribution of UGS this research attempts to better understand where and why we can find our recreational green places. Results show that several trends can be seen, the most profound being that UGS coverage increases the greater the distance from the city center gets. Although more research will be needed to quantifiably prove this hypothesis.
