Good morning. Today I'd like to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 residents for five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower stress levels. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small community gardens had a positive effect if they were within walking distance. However, the study also noted that the quality of the space, such as the presence of trees and benches, influenced how often people used it. So, it's not just about having green areas, but making them inviting.
