Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss urban planning, specifically the concept of 'green spaces'. In many cities, parks and gardens are often seen as optional extras, but recent research suggests that they play a crucial role in mental health. For example, a study in Melbourne found that residents living within 300 meters of a park reported lower stress levels. However, the size of the green space matters more than its proximity. Surprisingly, small pocket parks had little effect, while larger areas with trees and water features showed significant benefits. So, when designing new neighborhoods, planners should prioritize creating a few large green areas rather than many tiny ones.
