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. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small pocket parks had a positive effect, provided they were well-maintained and had seating areas. The study also noted that the benefits were stronger for residents who visited these spaces at least once a week, compared to those who only viewed them from their windows.
