Good morning, everyone. Today we're discussing the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study from the University of Melbourne followed 500 adults over five years. Participants who lived within 300 meters of a park or garden reported 20% lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the benefit was stronger for those who actively visited the space at least twice a week, rather than just having it nearby. The researchers also noted that the size of the green area mattered less than its accessibility and quality. So, for city planners, it's not just about creating more parks, but ensuring they are safe, well-maintained, and easily reachable on foot.
