**1.1 Importance of green environments for residential communities**

In many countries like England, Australia, Germany and Belgium the concept of the green environment is popular they explored healthy city planning and defined it as an effective tool for achieving sustainable health and well-being in humans. It had been observed in many empirical studies that the varied types of green environment influences and helps in improving the overall life satisfaction of residents, including their well-being, amenity, sociality, health, and comfort. It is important that these types of green environments are publicly accessible to provide spaces of social interaction for residents. The green spaces have diverse classifications, and each provides its own values and benefits. Thus, further exploration of green environments is critical to ensure higher accessibility, usability, and functionality of green environments for future residents. In many residential communities green spaces are buffers between Built and Exterior surroundings. In addition, Multi unit residential developments have focused on branding value and esthetic aspects and ignored the importance of natural spaces within the living environment. However, the importance of green spaces in residential communities has been recognized by residents and in some communities they are developed and protected voluntary. Hence it is essential to understand the importance of green spaces for sustenance of the well being of residential communities and their overall development.
