Good morning, class. Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study followed 1,000 adults over five years. Participants who visited parks at least once a week reported 20% lower stress levels compared to those who rarely went. Interestingly, the size of the green space didn't matter as much as the frequency of visits. Even small community gardens had significant benefits. However, the study also noted that people living within 300 meters of a park were more likely to use it regularly. So, planners should prioritize accessible, small green areas over large, distant ones.
