Urban green space and wellbeing: a two-year study of 1,200 residents

Priya Sharma, Lucas Moreau and Ana Ruiz

Department of Geography, Any City University · September 2026

Abstract

We followed 1,200 adults in six neighbourhoods for two years to see how distance to a park relates to wellbeing. Residents living within 300 m of green space reported higher wellbeing scores and walked 2,100 more steps a day, after adjusting for income and age. The effect was strongest for people over 65.

Keywords: green space, wellbeing, walking, older adults, urban planning
