Abstract: Urban green space (UGS) benefits residents and has become essential in promoting sustainable urban development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations in 2015 proposed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pointing out the direction for future sustainable development. The construction of UGS is of great significance for realising the SDGs. This article aims to evaluate the impact of the SDGs proposal on the concept of urban green space. To this end, we applied the VOSviewer bibliometric analysis tool to analyse the relevant literature data in the Scopus database, revealing the intrinsic connection between UGS and the SDGs. It was found that keywords such as sustainable development, sustainability and human ranked highly in the literature in both fields. In addition, keywords such as urban area, urbanisation, biodiversity, and ecosystems appear in both fields but with slightly different focuses. At the same time, these keywords are missing in the combination of overlapping keywords. This study has important implications for UGS planning, construction, and management practices to maximise the synergy between UGS and the SDGs and promote sustainable urban development.
