The Impact of Urban Green Spaces on Mental Health
By Alex J. Thompson

Abstract:
This article explores the relationship between urban green spaces, such as parks and community gardens, and the mental well-being of city inhabitants.
Introduction:
As urban populations continue to rise, the integration of green spaces within city infrastructure has become an increasingly pertinent topic. This study aims to shed light on the potential benefits of these spaces on mental health.
Background:
Historically, cities were built with little regard for green spaces. However, as urbanization progressed, the importance of having accessible natural environments within city boundaries became evident.
Methods:
A survey of 1,000 urban residents was conducted, asking about their use of green spaces and their perceived stress levels. Additionally, satellite images were used to assess the green space coverage in ten major cities.
Results:
A significant correlation was found between frequent use of urban green spaces and reported lower stress levels. Cities with more extensive green space coverage also reported lower overall stress levels among their populations.
Discussion:
The results suggest that green spaces play a vital role in promoting mental well-being. The presence of nature can offer a respite from the bustling city life, providing a place for relaxation, reflection, and recreation.
Conclusion:
Urban planning should prioritize the integration and maintenance of green spaces. Not only do they serve aesthetic and environmental purposes, but they are also crucial for the mental health of city residents.
