The scientific cognitive relationship between urban green space and living space can effectively promote the deepening of research on the human living environment and guide planning and design practice. Based on the Web of ScienceTM Core Collection and CNKI as the data source and using the CiteSpace bibliometric tool, this paper systematically analyzes the progress, hot spots, and trends of the research on urban green space and living space in foreign countries. The study shows that: (1) Phases characterize the issuance of articles, foreign studies favor ecological and health perspectives, while domestic studies focus more on the urban environment and construction; (2) The hot areas of research abroad are the living health effect of urban green space, the living space differentiation characteristics of the social value of urban green space and the living eco-environmental benefits of urban green space. Domestic studies focus on the concept and practice of green space planning, green space performance evaluation, green space benefits, and residents’ rights and interests within living spaces; (3) The study presents evolutionary characteristics. The foreign studies scale has gradually been reduced, and the connotation of green space has expanded. Research methods have evolved from empirical investigation and simple mathematical models to integrating big data and methods. The research object has transformed green space into a resident-to-people-green interaction. The core of research has shifted from ecological and socio-cultural categories to the health field. The core of domestic research has expanded from sociology and urban planning to multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary integration, and the research orientation has deepened from a supply-side perspective of solving greenfield problems to a two-way perspective of improving the matching relationship between supply and demand. Based on the status of related research, it is proposed to strengthen mechanism meta-physics, scale linkage, supply standard, and data sharing to promote the development of research on the relationship between urban green space and living space.
