Good morning. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed over 2,000 adults for five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the effect was stronger for women than for men. However, the study also noted that the quality of the green space mattered more than its size. For example, small but well-maintained community gardens had a greater positive impact than large, neglected parks. The researchers suggest that city planners should prioritize accessibility and maintenance over sheer area.
