URBAN GREEN and BLUE SPACES
Why we need them?
Green spaces are areas partially or fully covered by vegetation (e.g. trees, grass, and bushes), which can come in many forms, including large forests, small city parks, and even the street trees in your neighbourhood. Recent studies have found that living in neighbourhoods with more green space is associated with improved mental health and self-perceived physical health, reduced levels of obesity, and reduced risk of disease. As older adults generally are more bound to their direct home surroundings, they may especially benefit from green spaces in the neighbourhood.
WHO report on urban planning, environment and health published in 2010 states that green spaces can positively affect physical activity, social and psychological well‐being, improve air quality and reduce exposure to noise; however, they can also be associated with an increased risk of injury due to increased recreational and sport‐related use (WHO, 2010d).”.
