The monitoring and assessment of urban ecological quality holds critical significance for sustainable urban development. To assess the ecological quality of developed coastal cities in China in recent years, this study investigated Nanjing City based on the Sentinel-2A remote sensing images obtained in 2021. It constructed a novel remote sensing green index (RSGI) model involving green spaces, blue spaces, buildings, and impervious surfaces for assessing the ecological quality of Nanjing. First, neural network supervised classification was applied to the Sentinel-2A remote sensing images, constructing the RSGI to assess the ecological quality of various districts in Nanjing. Then, the correlations between the RSGI and urban ecological factors were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Finally, the ecological similarity between the districts was analyzed using the agglomerative hierarchical clustering method. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The ecological quality of Nanjing presented a pattern of low RSGI values in the central portion and high RSGI values in the surrounding areas, with the highest and lowest RSGI values (0.86 and 0.38) observed in Luhe and Qinhuai districts, respectively, differing by 0.48; (2) The RSGI exhibited a positive correlation with the density of green spaces and negative correlations with the densities of population, buildings, and impervious surfaces, all at the 0.01 level; (3) With the ecological similarity of 70% as the threshold, 11 districts in Nanjing were categorized into four clusters: Qinhuai, Gulou, and Jianye districts in the first cluster, Yuhuatai and Qixia districts in the second cluster, Xuanwu and Gaochun districts in the third cluster, and the rest four districts in the fourth cluster. The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for subsequent urban planning and sustainable development of Nanjing.
