Abstract Urban greenspaces are crucial for public health, climate resilience and community well‐being, yet there are inequalities in accessibility in cities across the world. The ‘x‐minute city’ framework has been proposed as a potential solution, proposing that essential services and amenities—including greenspace—should be accessible within a short commute from every residence. However, current approaches to measuring and implementing this framework often rely on single dimensional metrics that fail to capture the full complexity of how people actually access and use urban greenspaces. This review synthesizes methods from three distinct fields to develop a more comprehensive understanding of greenspace accessibility: geographic information science (GIScience), which provides spatial analytical tools; behavioural ecology (BE), which offers frameworks for understanding movement decisions; and human mobility analysis, which reveals movement patterns through the urban environment. While GIScience approaches allow for the identification of spatial inequalities in greenspace distribution, they often overlook the behavioural and social factors that influence actual usage, highlighted in BE approaches. Similarly, human mobility models can track movement patterns but may miss environmental and cultural factors. To bridge the gap between these methods, we introduce the Multi‐context Inclusive City (MIC) framework, which integrates spatial, behavioural and mobility perspectives to ana...
