Public green spaces are also associated with social life in the urban environment and the city&#8217;s identity. These correlations have for decades been a focus of international and (to a more limited extent) Greek literature within the fields of ecology and urban studies.<br>This project aims to systematically study social and spatial inequalities regarding the availability of and access to green space among different areas and social groups within the metropolitan area of Athens and other Greek cities.
