Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study from the University of Cardiff followed over 2,000 adults for five years. The researchers found that people who lived within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the type of green space mattered: wildflower meadows had a stronger positive effect than neatly mown lawns. The study also noted that the benefits were more pronounced for younger adults under 30, while older participants showed less variation. So, city planners should prioritize creating diverse natural areas, not just uniform parks.

A. A) People over 50 years old
B. B) Adults under 30 years old
