Outline of Final Research Achievements

With an ever-increasing urban population, promoting public health and well-being in towns and cities is a major challenge. Previous research has suggested that urban greenspace provides people with a wide range of health benefits. However, evidence from quantitative analyses is still scarce. In this project, we quantified the mental health benefits of urban greenspace, and their drivers, at a landscape-scale.
