Good morning, class. Today we'll discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study from the University of Exeter followed 1,000 adults over five years. Participants who moved to greener areas reported a significant drop in stress levels, even after controlling for income and employment. Interestingly, the benefit was strongest for people under 30. However, the study found no direct link between green space and improved physical exercise rates. Instead, researchers suggest the calming effect comes from reduced noise and better air quality. So, while parks are not a cure-all, they clearly play a role in psychological well-being.
