Being in modern space and increasing population and urbanization growth have turned the cities into the center of living gatherings and various activities and they are encountered with the shortage of public green spaces. By transition from modernity space and being in postmodern world and nostalgic sense in these spaces, the need of citizens to spend leisure time is increased and returning to green spaces in modern cities has caused that it has great social, mental and cultural effects on urban dwellers in these spaces. This study is based on descriptive-analytical method and besides explaining the importance of green space in current modern cities and the analysis of social, cultural and mental effects of development of these spaces; some recommendations and solutions are presented to improve urban management performance regarding the improvement of social, cultural and mental effects of urban green spaces in metropolises. The suitability of design of open space in various dimensions and its consistency with cultural, social, natural features and living conditions as the result of coordinated performance of various layers of city by affecting the behaviors of residents can make the neighbors comfortable and create intimate and good townships. The findings of the study are: Green spaces in cities above ecologic return have good effects in most of social and psychological fields but these spaces in case of weak urban management performance can provide some unsuitable functions. Urban green spaces and urban management affect each other as urban green space has no suitable function without active and sustainable urban management.
