Good morning. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 1,000 residents over five years. Participants who lived within 300 meters of a park reported 20% lower stress levels. Interestingly, the type of green space mattered: community gardens had a stronger effect than sports fields. The study also found that weekly visits of at least 30 minutes were most beneficial. However, researchers noted that simply having a view of trees from a window did not produce the same results. They suggest city planners prioritize accessible, small-scale green areas near residential zones.
