Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces. 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 reported lower stress levels, but interestingly, the size of the park mattered less than its accessibility. However, the most surprising finding was that community gardens had a stronger effect on mental well-being than large parks, because they encouraged social interaction. The study suggests that city planners should prioritize small, accessible green areas over large, distant ones.
