Abstract: Under the pressure of rapid urbanization, the development of urban land in Vietnam has invaded green lands and had a negative impact on their ecosystems and environments. The new urban development not only does not improve the demand for green urban space but makes the living environment worse. Studying the design seriously and putting forward solutions for green urban space is essential and urgent. Taking Da Nang as a case study, planning a network of multicenter urban green space would change ecological principles to create a sustainable urban ecosystem. This is based on a landscape metrics method to reveal the green space system characteristics and its spatial distribution, area, density, and shape. A set of shapes index including categories such as SHAPE, mean distance (m) between each cell (GYRATE) and mean Euclidean distance neighbour (ENN) was used to display the geometrical shape of patches and continuity. These indices stress the difference in spatial structure in various land-use types. This article draws upon ecological landscape theory to propose a green system of urban regions including green space wedges, greenways, corridors, greenbelts and green additions; these factors help to create a sustainable urban green space.
