Design and delivery of open spaces that promote the health and wellbeing of people and the natural environment is a key challenge for health and urban planning in rapidly growing cities. There is growing recognition of the need for higher‐density more compact urban form to accommodate the growing urban populations. In turn, this places greater pressure on Public Open Space (POS) and green spaces within urbanised areas and emphasises the important role of city planning to incorporate green spaces. A greater understanding of how these spaces should be designed is needed to support human health and the environment, including the physical, mental and social health of individuals and communities, and the maintenance of ecosystem services and biodiversity.
