dc.description.abstract	Urban green spaces (UGS) are an important part of the urban environment. As cities face increasing urbanization and population growth, urban green spaces may face pressure which poses significant challenges on their long-term sustainability. The study aims to assess the interrelationship between urban green and quality of life comparing the livelihoods of Kisenyi I and Kyambogo parishes in Kampala, Uganda. This study was conducted in two areas of Kampala Metropolitan city, Uganda, using a cross-sectional design. The findings of the study revealed that both areas face limited availability of urban spaces. Findings revealed that lack of available data and research on the benefits of urban green space have an impact on developing urban green space as supported by the majority of respondents. Findings also revealed that community participation in the planning process is highly important for the success of the development of urban Green Spaces. The results of this study highlight the need for urban planning and policy interventions to address the limited availability and access to urban spaces in both areas. By recognizing the importance and integrating these recommendations, policy makers and city authorities can work towards creating healthier, more sustainable, and livable urban environments for their residents.	en_US
