The gap
Environmental racism and socio-environmental disparities pose significant challenges. The study identifies the need for policies that prioritize diversity and inclusiveness while expanding green space accessibility. Green gentrification, where long-term, lower-income residents are displaced due to rising property values and rents, is a challenge.

Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of urban greening strategies in different climates and urban morphologies. Studies should consider the impact of other factors, such as building density and materials, on the effectiveness of urban greening strategies. Research should focus on developing tailored urban greening strategies for different urban areas.

The study identifies challenges related to urbanisation, such as environmental degradation and declining quality of life in urban environments. It notes that urban green spaces face challenges such as spatial disparities, depletion of natural resources, and growing pressure on existing infrastructure. The research also highlights the need for age-inclusive green space planning and tailored features to encourage engagement across all age groups.
