Good morning. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 2,000 residents over five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower stress levels. Interestingly, the effect was stronger for older adults, 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. The researchers suggest that city planners should focus on creating accessible, high-quality green areas rather than just increasing their number.
