Urban green spaces are essential in improving sustainable cities' quality of life. They help reduce pollution, regulate temperature, and provide refuge for biodiversity. It also promotes physical and mental health through opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Green spaces stimulate social cohesion, providing meeting places for the community. Investments in these areas increase real estate value and attract tourists, thus contributing to economic development and urban sustainability. This study combines GIS techniques, remote sensing, and urban modeling to provide a clear vision of the spatial dynamics of green infrastructure and to propose effective solutions for the sustainable management of the urban environment in Târgoviște City. This analysis used data from the following sources: high-resolution aerial images to analyze the evolution of green spaces and GIS maps for mapping the current distribution, information from urban planning documents, and local strategies. The results obtained highlight the dynamics of the surface of urban green spaces, the extension of the built area, and the development of road infrastructure, but also the need to develop urban regeneration plans by rehabilitating degraded green areas and connecting them by creating green corridors, all of which represent a series of important challenges.
