Good morning. Today we'll discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. Recent studies suggest that access to parks and gardens can significantly reduce stress levels. However, the benefits are not equal for everyone. For instance, a 2023 study in London found that the positive effect was strongest for residents who visited green spaces at least once a week. Interestingly, the study also noted that the size of the green space mattered less than the quality of the experience, such as feeling safe and having places to sit. So, urban planners should focus on improving the usability of small local parks rather than creating large distant ones.
