Kota hijau diwujudkan melalui pemenuhan 8 atribut, terdiri atas green planning and design, green community, green open space, green water, green waste, green building, green transportation, dan green energy. Salah satu atribut yang secara nyata dapat diukur dan telah menjadi masalah adalah green open space (ruang terbuka hijau). Isu kebutuhan akan ruang terbuka, terutama ruang terbuka hijau, muncul sebagai akibat perubahan lingkungan fisik yang terjadi di tingkat nasional dan internasional.Kota Depok sebagai kotamadya yang baru berusia 14 (empat belas) tahun, secara administratif berada di bawah kewenangan Provinsi Jawa Barat, tetapi perkembangannya sangat dipengaruhi oleh Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Kota Depok merupakan wilayah hunian tujuan masyarakat Jabodetabek dan wilayah dengan fasilitas pendidikan yang dituju oleh seluruh Indonesia. Kota Depok telah berkomitmen untuk berupaya mewujudkan kota hijau melalui penandatanganan Piagam Kota Hijau tanggal 8 November 2012. Kemampuan kota Depok mewujudkan kota hijau dapat dilihat berdasarkan daya dukung dan daya tampung, potensi sosial dan budaya serta penegakan hukum di kota tersebut.
