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 1,000 residents over five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower stress levels. Interestingly, the size of the green space mattered less than its accessibility. Even small community gardens had a positive effect, as long as they were well-maintained and safe to visit. The study also noted that the benefits were stronger for older adults and those with limited mobility, who often rely on nearby nature for relaxation.
