Abstract
Urban green spaces are vital components of city landscapes, offering numerous benefits such as biodiversity enhancement, climate regulation, and recreational opportunities. This study investigates the role of urban parks and gardens in supporting biodiversity and providing ecosystem services. By comparing green spaces in three major cities—London, Tokyo, and Nairobi—we assess species diversity, carbon sequestration, and public health impacts. Our findings suggest that diverse plantings and habitat structures significantly improve biodiversity and ecosystem service delivery. The research highlights the need for strategic urban planning to integrate green infrastructure for sustainable city development.
