This has led to the issue that factors like the closeness of humans’ workplace and living place, small green areas inside cities as well as their usefulness for people etc. be considered the least. As the foci of humans’ activity and life, cities have no way but accepting the structure and function influenced by natural systems to be able to maintain their sustainability. In the meantime, urban green spaces are the integrative part of cities’ body playing a critical role in their metabolism the lack of which can result in the serious disorders in their life. Public green space or parks will have major effect on improving the quality of citizens’ life and embellishment of the city.
