Abstract: The health benefits of urban green space on residents have been demonstrated. Using green space to carry out active health intervention is an important part to build a healthy city. Based on the core data of web of science, Google Scholar and CNKI, CiteSpace software was used to make a visualization analysis of relevant literatures collected before 2023, and the current research progress and shortcomings were summarized from the aspects of research hotspots, methods, health outcomes and mechanisms. The future research direction in this field is also prospected. Health benefits should be discussed based on emerging technologies. While promoting quantitative research on the health benefits threshold of green space, green space research should be promoted in the direction of special vulnerable groups and new technology.
