Good morning, everyone. Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study from the University of Melbourne followed 500 participants over two years. They found that people who visited parks at least twice a week reported 20% lower stress levels. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than the frequency of visits. Also, activities like walking or gardening were more beneficial than just sitting. However, the study noted that access to green spaces is unequal across different neighborhoods, which is a concern for policymakers.
