Good morning, everyone. Today we'll continue our discussion on urban planning. A key challenge is balancing green spaces with housing needs. In many cities, parks are being replaced by apartment blocks. However, a recent study in Melbourne found that residents living within 500 meters of a park reported significantly lower stress levels. Interestingly, the size of the park mattered less than its accessibility. Small pocket parks, if well-maintained and safe, were equally effective as large central parks. The study also noted that community gardens, though not traditional parks, provided similar mental health benefits. So, for planners, it's not just about quantity but strategic placement.
