Good morning. Today we're going to discuss urban planning, focusing on the concept of 'green spaces'. In many cities, parks and gardens are not just for recreation; they also help reduce air pollution and regulate temperature. However, a recent study in Melbourne found that while residents value these spaces, they often complain about the lack of shaded areas, especially during summer. The researchers suggest that planting more trees, rather than adding more lawns, would be more effective. Interestingly, the study also noted that smaller, local parks are used more frequently than large central ones, because they are closer to homes.
