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 1,000 adults over five years. Participants who lived within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the type of green space mattered: community gardens had a stronger positive effect than large, manicured parks, possibly because they encourage social interaction. The researchers also noted that the benefits were more pronounced for people over 50. So, while any greenery helps, small, accessible gardens may be the most effective for urban planning.
