Randomized trial evaluates pocket parks' contributions to urban sustainability, suggesting effective design practices.

This research identifies the key features of pocket parks and evaluates their role in promoting sustainable urban development.
Developed a toolkit of early design indicators for pocket parks based on sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Applied the toolkit to four diverse case studies to assess pocket parks' performances in urban contexts.
Created a parametric model to analyze spatial design criteria and their interconnections.
The parametric approach effectively demonstrates pocket parks' adaptability as urban green spaces across varying plot sizes.
The analysis revealed significant contributions of pocket parks to ecological and socio-economic sustainable development goals.
A procedural design sequence was established, offering a systematic way to create pocket parks aligned with sustainability criteria.

Kazamia et al. (2026) studied this question.
