👉 Dr. Emily Carter, a leading researcher in environmental psychology, conducted a comprehensive study examining the psychological impacts of urban green spaces on mental health. Her team surveyed 500 participants from diverse urban backgrounds, assessing their exposure to parks, gardens, and other natural areas within a 10-minute walk from their homes. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques and self-reported mental health metrics, they found that regular interaction with green spaces significantly reduced stress levels, improved mood, and enhanced cognitive function. The research also highlighted the importance of accessibility and quality of these green areas, suggesting that well-maintained, inclusive parks can serve as vital mental health resources for urban populations.
