Good morning. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. Recent studies have shown that access to parks and gardens can significantly reduce stress levels. However, the key factor is not just the existence of green areas, but their quality and accessibility. For instance, a study in Melbourne found that residents living within 300 meters of a well-maintained park reported 20% lower anxiety levels compared to those without such access. Interestingly, the effect was stronger for older adults and those who visited the park at least twice a week. The researchers also noted that passive viewing of greenery from home windows had a smaller but still positive effect.
