Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 residents for five years. Researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the effect was stronger for older adults, especially those over 65, than for younger participants. The study also noted that the quality of the green space mattered more than its size. Small, well-maintained community gardens had a greater positive impact than large, neglected parks. This suggests that urban planners should focus on accessibility and maintenance rather than just creating vast areas of greenery.
