Urban green spaces play a vital role in sustainable urban development by enhancing environmental resilience, public health, and socio-economic well-being. Rapid urbanization before 2018 has significantly reduced natural landscapes, leading to issues such as urban heat islands, air pollution, biodiversity loss, and declining mental health. This paper presents a multidisciplinary approach to urban green space management, integrating ecology, urban planning, environmental engineering, public policy, and social sciences. The study focuses on ecological sustainability, spatial planning, community participation, and technological integration. It highlights key ecosystem services like carbon sequestration, stormwater management, and temperature regulation. Advanced tools such as GIS, remote sensing, and multi-criteria decision analysis are used to optimize green space planning and maintenance. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, including spatial analysis and stakeholder surveys, the findings show that cities adopting integrated approaches achieve better environmental performance, higher user satisfaction, and efficient resource use. The paper concludes by recommending collaborative frameworks and innovative strategies to improve urban resilience, quality of life, and long-term sustainability.
