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 1,200 residents 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 type of green space mattered: community gardens had a stronger positive effect than large sports fields, possibly because they encourage social interaction. However, the study also noted that simply having a view of trees from a window did not produce the same benefits. So, it's not just about proximity, but active engagement with nature.
