Intensive urban development has created a shortage of urban green areas. The need to economically plan and use urban green spaces has fueled the redefinition of public spaces and parks so as to provide the residents with both recreation and relaxation facilities, as well as a forum for contact with culture. This paper discusses the case of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in the Kallithea district on the outskirts of Athens, near the Mediterranean Sea. It fills a gap in the research on the aspects of the practical functioning of such facilities. The methodology used in the research included an analysis of the literature, the SNFCC’s reports, and an in situ survey. The cultural center hosts a number of events aimed at promoting Greece’s natural and cultural heritage. The paper includes a detailed analysis of the events organized by the SNFCC in the period 2017–2020 and their immense impact on residents. The aim of the study is to show that the creation of the SNFCC with the park areas has functioned as a factor contributing to the improvement of the quality of urban space and the quality of life of the city’s inhabitants. The paper’s conclusions indicate that the sustainable SNFCC project, which fulfils the urban ecology criteria, has been very well received by the visitors—citizens and tourists alike. A program-centered innovation introduced by the SN Park has added great value to their lives. The project contributes to economic and cultural growth, as well as the protection and promotion of heritage.

This paper presents the results of an assessment of change in urban green spaces in Thanh Hoacity (Vietnam). Sentinel 2 MSI data in 2015 and 2021 are used to calculate 3 parameters: percentage ofgreen, weight of green types, and weight of proximity to green. These parameters are used to calculate theWeighted Urban Green Space Index (WUGSI). The final result shows the distribution of green space inthe study area consisted of very high-quality green, high-quality green, moderate quality green, and lowquality green. The obtained results show that the quality of urban green space in Thanh Hoa city haschanged significantly in the period 2015-2021, in which the area with category “low quality green space”increased from 7.17% up to 9.48%; areas with category “very high-quality green space” reduced from65.02% to 47.39%.
