As urbanization rapidly increases, cities around the world are recognizing the critical role of public urban green spaces (PUGS) in enhancing environmental quality and residents' well-being. Recent studies have shown that green spaces contribute to the economy by increasing individual productivity, attracting investments, mitigating urban heat islands, and making cities climate resilient—thereby making PUGS essential for urban sustainability. In India, however, urban areas face significant challenges in integrating and maintaining these green spaces due to fragmented governance and inadequate policy frameworks. As urban areas fall under the State List in the Indian Constitution's Seventh Schedule, they are primarily governed by Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). This diminishes the role of state and central governments in advisory positions, creating a lack of accountability, and city managers often lack the capacity to understand complex issues. Despite numerous state and central programs, schemes, and policies for PUGS, the absence of logic-based goals with measurable milestones remains a significant challenge. This chapter highlights these challenges within central and state-level policies and significant city-level initiatives. It critically examines Indian urban policies and governance systems at both the union and state levels concerning public urban green spaces (PUGS). The analysis includes a study of best practices from cities in India and abroad. Drawing on global best practices, the findings are supplemented with suggestions for managing urban green spaces in India, considering cultural and behavioural responses, successful financial models, and recent technologies. The study relies on literature surveys and policy reviews, which contribute directly to the development of PUGS in India.
