<jats:p>In this paper, the economic benefits from urban green space in Shaanxi Province are estimated with a simultaneous equations model (SEM) in this paper. The conclusion is drawn as follows :(1) With the increase of investment, the urban green space of Shaanxi province has been continuously expanding. However, the new urban green space has not generated any social and economic benefits yet, and each square kilometer of it requires an investment of 80 million yuan of GDP. (2) Investment plays an important role in generating new urban green space. The coefficient of investment (a2=4.89, p<0.05) indicates that a private real estate investment of 1 billion yuan can generate 4.890 square kilometers of urban green space. (3) Among five urban spatial models, the expansion of urban transportation space and urban industrial space can promote the growth of GDP and bring new social and economic benefits. In the end, possible reasons on these results are discussed in order to provide a frame of reference to promote the development of urban green space planning in Shaanxi province.</jats:p>
