Good morning, everyone. 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 adults for five years. The 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 participants, especially those over 65. However, the study also noted that the quality of the green space mattered more than its size. For example, a small well-maintained garden with benches and trees had a greater positive effect than a large, neglected field. So, urban planners should focus on creating accessible, high-quality green areas rather than just increasing their quantity.
