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 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 older participants, especially those over 65. However, the study also noted that the quality of the green space mattered more than its size. For instance, a small well-maintained garden with benches and shade trees was more beneficial than a large, neglected field. So, city planners should focus on improving accessibility and facilities rather than just increasing the total area of green spaces.
