Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 2,000 residents over five years. Participants who lived within 300 meters of a park reported 20% lower levels of stress. Interestingly, the size of the green area mattered less than its accessibility. The study also found that community gardens, though smaller, had a stronger social benefit than large parks. However, researchers noted that the effect was weaker for people who already had high social support. So, while green spaces help, they are not a substitute for human connection.
