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 residents for five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small pocket parks had a positive effect if they were easy to reach on foot. However, the study also noted that the benefits were stronger for older adults than for younger participants. So, what does this mean for city planning? It suggests we should focus on creating more small, well-connected green areas rather than relying solely on large central parks.
