This is regrettable as green space has the potential to create wins for environmental sustainability, health, and health equity. This paper explores this potential triple win and investigates how to increase the use of urban green space through behavior change. A narrative literature review was conducted and was supplemented with literature suggested by experts. Results show that creating well-designed green spaces and stimulating people to use them can indeed deliver this triple win. Providing accessible, attractive, well-maintained green space with room for socialization, and where people feel safe, may increase the opportunity and motivation of people to use it more often. Informing and educating people and organizing activities may increase capability (and motivation) to use green space. Since the use of green space depends on life stage, lifestyle factors and individual values, it is important to involve potential users in its design. We recommend a specific focus on those groups who may benefit most from the use of green space. More evaluation is needed to inform effective green space interventions and to assess related economic, social, and environmental benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16224403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,12]],"date-time":"2019-11-12T04:07:07Z","timestamp":1573531627000},"page":"4403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":192,"title":["Urban Green Space: Creating a Triple Win for Environmental Sustainability, Health, and Health Equity through Behavior Change"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Hanneke","family":"Kruize","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sustainability, Environment and Health, RIVM, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"van der Vliet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sustainability, Environment and Health, RIVM, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Brigit","family":"Staatsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sustainability, Environment and Health, RIVM, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Equity, UCL, London WC1E 7HB, UK"}]},{"given":"Aline","family":"Chiabai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), 48940 Leioa, Spain"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Mui\u00f1os","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), CIS-IUL, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sahran","family":"Higgins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Centre for Environment and Human Health, University of Exeter Medical School, Truro TR1 3HD, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4269-5053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sonia","family":"Quiroga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, Plaza de la Victoria, 2, E-28802 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Martinez-Juarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, Plaza de la Victoria, 2, E-28802 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"},{"name":"Health Economics Group, University of Exeter Medical School, Exeter EX1 2LU, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8642-2252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Aberg Yngwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University, Institutionen f\u00f6r folkh\u00e4lsovetenskap, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Fotis","family":"Tsichlas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Preventive Medicine Environmental &amp; Occupational Health, Prolepsis, 7, Fragoklisias street, 151 25 Marousi, Greece"}]},{"given":"Pania","family":"Karnaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Preventive Medicine Environmental &amp; Occupational Health, Prolepsis, 7, Fragoklisias street, 151 25 Marousi, Greece"}]},{"given":"Maria Lu\u00edsa","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), CIS-IUL, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Silvestre","family":"Garc\u00eda de Jal\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), 48940 Leioa, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5546-1870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matluba","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Equity, UCL, London WC1E 7HB, UK"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Centre for Environment and Human Health, University of Exeter Medical School, Truro TR1 3HD, UK"}]},{"given":"Ingrid","family":"Stegeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EuroHealthNet, 1000 Brussels, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2016).
