Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. Recent studies show that even small parks in city centers can significantly reduce stress levels. However, the key factor isn't the size of the space, but its accessibility. People are more likely to visit a green area if it's within a 10-minute walk from their home or workplace. Interestingly, the research also found that community gardens, where people actively participate in planting, have a stronger positive effect than passive parks. This is because gardening fosters social interaction and a sense of achievement.
