Impacts of green and blue space on mental health

The benefits of urban green and blue areas for our mental health and well-being have become more and more evident during the current pandemic. Despite their relevance and considering the fact that urban areas are home to half the world’s population, we don’t have enough information about how these areas should be designed in order to have a real contribution to our mental health and well-being. One of our Expert Working Groups analysed what we currently know and how these areas can improve our mental health and well-being. Listen to our podcast and learn more about what we currently know and how we can do more to enhance the contributions of urban and peri-urban Blue & Green areas to our well-being.
