With the acceleration of urbanization, urban residents are confronted with increasingly serious physical and mental health problems. As an important public space with healing functions, the optimization of the healing environment of urban green Spaces has become a key issue in improving the quality of life of residents. Based on a multi-level perspective, this paper systematically analyzes the constituent elements and existing problems of the therapeutic environment in urban green Spaces from three levels: micro-individual perception, meso-spatial layout, and macro-policy planning. It proposes a compound optimization strategy to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for the construction and optimization of the therapeutic environment in urban green Spaces.
