Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. According to a recent study conducted in Melbourne, residents living within 300 meters of a park reported 20% lower levels of stress compared to those without nearby green areas. Interestingly, the effect was strongest for people aged 65 and over. The study also found that the type of green space mattered: tree-lined streets had a greater positive impact than open grassy fields. However, the researchers noted that the quality of the space, such as safety and maintenance, was more important than its size. So, while large parks are beneficial, small well-maintained gardens can be equally effective.
