Studies have previously linked parks and community spaces to helping to reduce heart disease by promoting physical activity, reducing stress and mitigating excess heat and air pollution, lead researcher Professor Xiaoqi Feng from the University of NSW notes."We found people living in houses are more likely to benefit from living closer to trees and tree canopies - for their heart in particular," she said.
"Also, even if there is some green space within or around your apartment block, it's often not an area you can or would want to visit, or permit children can play in. It's there to tick a box but offers few qualities to attract people to spend time there." "We should learn more about what type and quality of green space we should have around every apartment block, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to benefit from nature."
