In urban development, balancing the ecological services of park green space with residents’ daily life and recreational needs, achieving sustainable development is an important issue in urban construction. The satellite cities of megacities have large development potential and are suitable research objects. This paper takes the Daxing District of Beijing as the research target and measures the integrated level of supply and demand by selecting unique evaluation indicators by integrating various dimensions and using the improved coupled coordination model and indicators with an expanded selection range at the smallest administrative unit of Chinese community unit scale innovatively. The study shows that: (1) The spatial heterogeneity between the supply and demand of parkland in 85 community units in Daxing New Town is obvious, the overall performance conforms with “demand exceeds supply”, and the supply and demand are generally positively correlated. (2) The correlation degree of the matched supply and demand is analyzed, and it is found that 55 community units show a mismatch between supply and demand and 53 community units have a low level of coordinated development. (3) The superposition analysis shows that the comprehensive level of supply and demand decreases from north to south and from the center to the surrounding area. (4) According to the Daxing New City Park Green Space Coupling Coordination Relationship and Policy Document, we divided the community units in Daxing New Town into six types, and provided differentiated development suggestions. The results of the study can help to guide the sustainable construction of Daxing New City and provide a basis for the future construction of satellite cities in other megacities. Full article

Equitable distribution of urban park green space benefits public health and improves quality of life. From the perspective of landscape justice, this study establishes a subjective and objective comprehensive fairness evaluation method and analyzes the fairness of the spatial distribution of park green space in the Daxing part of Yizhuang New Town, Beijing and its relationship with the economic level of residents. The results show that: (1) the green space in the Daxing part of Yizhuang New Town is concentrated in the town center and distributed more sparsely in surrounding areas; (2) urban park green space is not equitable in quantity, area, disaster prevention and avoidance, or accessibility; (3) high-grade apartment complexes have higher quality of services than low-grade apartment complexes, and the number of parks, per capita park area, disaster prevention and avoidance, and park accessibility are all higher for high-grade than for low-grade apartment complexes. Medium-grade apartment complexes have a high level of green space services, and the number of parks, total area, and accessibility are 1.06, 2.58, and 1.13 times higher than those of high-grade apartment complexes, respectively. Conversely, disaster prevention and avoidance and park area per capita of medium-grade apartment complexes are lower than in high-grade apartment complexes, at 0.81 and 0.12 times, respectively. This study provides a new perspective for exploring society and landscape equity and concludes with suggestions for improving park green space public services. Full article
