Awareness is mounting that urban greenspace is beneficial for residents’ health. While a plethora of studies have focused on greenspace quantity, scant attention has been paid to greenspace quality. Existing methods for assessing greenspace quality is either highly labor-intensive and/or prohibitively time-consuming. This study develops a new machine learning method to assess greenspace quality based on street view images collected from Guangzhou, China. It also examines whether greenspace exposure disparities are linked to the neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES). The validation process indicated that our scoring system achieved high accuracy for predicting street view-based greenspace quality outside the training data. Results also show that there were marked differences in spatial distribution between aggregated NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), street view greenness quantity …
