Professor: I want to share a recent finding from an urban planning study. Researchers tracked the well-being of residents in different neighborhoods. They found a direct correlation between the amount of green space—like parks and community gardens—and the residents' self-reported levels of happiness and reduced stress. Even small patches of green had a measurable positive impact. This suggests that urban development strategies should prioritize the integration of natural elements, not just for environmental reasons, but for public mental health.
