The objectives were to evaluate per-capita recreational public UGS availability and its proximity to identify the proportional population without access to greens and zone wise service area gap. The initial thematic mapping, data synthesis and key findings were generated using ArcGIS 10.5.1 software. With an aim to establish a context specific benchmark assessment, the study assessed recreational public UGS availability, proximity and service area gap in an Indian context taking a case of typical urban center Nagpur city through benchmark assessment (BMA) to understand the recreational UGS provisions. Moreover, in the emerging urban centers, the conventional statistical based land-use planning approach coupled with the lack of availability of categorized ground level data hinders the long-term vision towards protection, provision and planning of UGS. As compared to the urban sprawl, the urbanization has more severe impact on the existing urban cores, and the firefighting exercise to provide the immediate need of the physical infrastructure is leading to rapid decline and degradation of already stressed public urban green space (UGS). Ndian cities throughout, are witnessing unprecedented urbanization seen as both exacerbating urban sprawl scenario as well as over densification of existing urban cores.
