The perception of urban green spaces by the population, as well as their significance, is explored on the basis of empirical studies. It has been found that there is no clear and consistent definition of green spaces, which is a prerequisite before carrying out scientific studies. Urban green spaces have a considerable impact on the quality of life in cities. Accessibility and design of these spaces is an important factor with regard to tapping their full potential, or even only part of it. In particular, objective limitations on access and use, but also subjective barriers may reduce the potential. The relevance of urban green spaces is shown using examples from three different areas: quality of life, well-being, and public health.
