Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 2,000 adults over five years. Researchers found that participants living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small pocket parks had a positive effect if they were within a short walking distance. However, the study also noted that the quality of the green space, such as the presence of trees and benches, influenced how often people used it. So, it's not just about having green areas, but making them inviting for daily use.
