Cities are the growth engines responsible for shaping the global economy, major contributors to climate change, and are significantly affected by it. However, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make these cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Yet, the rapid and unplanned urban expansion exacerbates various environmental challenges and reduces green cover in urban areas. To address these issues and meet the SDGs, stakeholders need to emphasise and optimise urban spaces. This study investigates the borough-level analysis of green spaces and human exposure to green spaces across London using satellite-derived datasets on vegetation and socio-economic factors to examine the variations in urban vegetation cover and urban population exposure to vegetation cover between 2017 and 2024. This study highlights the spatial disparity in green space coverage and exposure to green space between the inner and outer boroughs of London. The methodology used here suggests an average loss of approximately 11 and 9 percent in green space coverage and green space exposure to population, respectively, between 2017 and 2024 across London boroughs.
