Green open space (GOS) has an imperative ecological act to the success of green city development (GCD). It is evident that currently many GOS are plunging and transmitted due to distinct conditions. In Malaysia and Indonesia, the maximum allocation of GOS in every city development area is 10 and 30%, respectively. However, developers’ adherence to this procedure extend to decay in recent years succeeding in the minimization of GOS. Consequently, there is a compelling require-ment for systemic preliminary planning to preclude the eradication of existing and future green spaces in urban areas. This study aimed to understand the advantages and implementation of GOS in GCD in Malaysia and Indonesia. Through the system-atic literature review method-there are four types of ecosystem services (ES) that highlighted the advantages of GOS on GCD, while 19 services were listed for the improvement of urban ecosystem quality. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
