Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 adults for five years. Interestingly, the researchers found that people who lived within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. However, the effect was strongest for those who visited the green space at least once a week. The study also noted that the size of the green area mattered less than its accessibility, meaning even small pocket parks could be beneficial if they were easy to reach. So, urban planners should prioritize creating more accessible green spaces rather than focusing solely on large parks.
