The objectives of this work were to register the green areas, their location, surface area and distribution, with respect to the areas of high population density, the distances necessary to access them and the endowment per person in the city of Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico. This with respect to the standards established by the World Health Organization. An orthogonal analysis was applied, based on the interpretation of Google Earth satellite image and Geographic Information Systems. An analysis of distances was also made from areas of influence of each green area. The results show that the green areas of the city of Cordoba are located without an apparent relationship with the locations of the areas with the highest population density, the area of green areas is very heterogeneous, the average distance to them is recommended; however, there is no certainty that this destination meets the needs of the users, the proportion of green area per inhabitant was 4.02 m2. It is concluded that the methodological approach used is suitable for the management of green area AV at urban scale. It is also concluded that its surface and distribution in the city is very heterogeneous; the distances to the nearest green area from any point, although acceptable, are not an indicator of reaching an area that meets the user’s needs; the allocation of green area per inhabitant in the city is below half of what WHO recommends.
