Overview

Randomized trial evaluates access to public green spaces and urban morphology's role in environmental justice inequalities in three European cities, suggesting significant disparities.

Key Points

This study aims to assess the spatial distribution and accessibility of public green spaces and their relationship with environmental justice in urban settings.
GIS-based analysis of public green spaces ≥ 1 ha in Faro, Tartu, and Nitra.
Evaluation of accessibility using Euclidean buffers of 300 m and 500 m.
Analysis of population data from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL).
Tartu has the highest green space provision (23.34 m2/inhabitant), while Faro has the lowest (5.67 m2/inhabitant).
Faro's 500 m accessibility values are comparable to Tartu's despite lower provision levels.
Nitra shows lower accessibility outcomes despite moderate green space provision, indicating the role of spatial configuration.
