Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study followed 1,000 adults over five years. Participants who visited parks at least once a week reported 22% lower stress levels. Interestingly, the duration of each visit mattered less than the frequency. Even short visits of 10 minutes were beneficial. However, the study noted that the quality of green space, such as biodiversity and quietness, played a key role. For example, people near noisy roads or poorly maintained parks showed no significant improvement. So, urban planners should prioritize accessible, quiet, and diverse green areas.
