Research has shown that Urban Green Spaces (UGS) can have a direct impact on urban health and well-being, being able to help combat urban ill and improve life quality. This short paper presents an investigation of the importance of urban greenery and how it can benefit life in the urban environment. Furthermore, it analyses the current situation of the Anhanduí river, located in the Brazilian city of Campo Grande - MS, after the revitalization project from 2018. Based on relevant literature review and systematic field assessment realised in person in January 2019, this review aims to identify if the main issues (erosion and landslide, flood control and water quality, lack of ecological, visual and functional connections, ecological degradation, loss of identity and native vegetation) encountered in the earlier research were properly solved. Preliminary evaluations indicated severe neglect at the river’s riparian zone, thus immensurable loss of original vegetation and delay in the construction sites.
