In today's lecture, we'll discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. Recent studies show that access to parks and gardens can reduce stress levels significantly. However, the key factor isn't just the size of the green area, but its proximity to residential zones. For instance, a small community garden located within a five-minute walk has been found to be more effective than a large distant park. Additionally, the presence of water features, like ponds or fountains, seems to enhance the calming effect. Interestingly, the benefits are stronger for older adults than for younger people, possibly due to their more sedentary lifestyles.
