Good morning, everyone. Today we'll discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study in Melbourne followed 1,000 residents for five years. Participants who visited parks at least once a week reported 20% lower stress levels compared to those who rarely went. Interestingly, the size of the park mattered less than the frequency of visits. Even small community gardens had positive effects. However, the study noted that accessibility, such as safe walking paths, was crucial. Without safe routes, people tended not to use the spaces. So, urban planners should prioritize safety improvements over expanding park size.
