Abstract
Open spaces are important to sustainable neighbourhoods. They contribute to social interaction, environmental health as well as overall quality of urban life. These spaces in many Nigerian cities, are sometimes neglected or inadequately integrated into the urban fabric, leading to reduced social and ecological benefits. This study evaluates the role of open spaces in promoting sustainable urban development in Ilesa, Nigeria. Using quantitative method approach, the research examines how the design, planning, accessibility, and management of public open spaces influence social cohesion, environmental sustainability and community well-being. The outcome of this study aims to offer insights that inform urban design, planning and policy interventions for creating more livable, inclusive and resilient neighbourhoods in urban areas.
