Hi, I know it is very late, but I would like to comment that Prof. Van den Bosch and her team have been working on it for years. Probably you have worked with her.
Van den Bosch, M. A., Mudu, P., Uscila, V., Barrdahl, M., Kulinkina, A., Staatsen, B., Swart, W., Kruize, H., Zurlyte, I., Egorov, A.I., 2016. Development of an urban green space indicator and the public health rationale. Scand. J. Public Healt., 44, Issue 2: 159-167. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1403494815615444.
In Spain, we have some indicators related to this issue. In urban planning there is a changing vision about distance and quality of green urban spaces. Please see the indicators EVB.05.26 and EVB.05.27 on urban sustainability at:
Gobierno de España, 2012. Guía Metodológica para los Sistemas, Certificación o Acreditación de la Calidad y Sostenibilidad en el Medio Urbano. Agencia de Ecología Urbana de Barcelona. Ed. Centro de Publicaciones, Secretaría General Técnica, Ministerio de Fomento, Madrid.
We have applied these indicators in cities in Latin America for improving well-being, health and quality of life.
Best,
Francisco
