Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 2,000 residents over five years. Participants who lived within 300 meters of a park or garden reported 20% lower stress levels. Interestingly, the benefits were stronger for older adults and those living alone. The study also found that even small communal gardens, not just large parks, contributed to improved mood. However, researchers noted that simply having a view of greenery from a window did not produce the same effect. So, it's not just seeing nature, but interacting with it that matters.
