TL;DR: In this article, potential pathways linking greenspace to health are presented in three domains, which emphasize three general functions of greenspace: reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air pollution, noise and heat), restoring capacities (i.e., attention restoration and physiological stress recovery), and encouraging physical activity and facilitating social cohesion). Interrelations between among the three domains are also noted.

TL;DR: It is shown how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so is provided.

TL;DR: A research agenda on nature contact and health is proposed, identifying principal domains of research and key questions that, if answered, would provide the basis for evidence-based public health interventions.

Urban Green Space and Its Impact on Human Health
TL;DR: A systematic review of published literature found consistent negative association between urban green space exposure and mortality, heart rate, and violence, and positive association with attention, mood, and physical activity in urban settings.

Mathew P. White,Ian Alcock,James Grellier,Benedict W. Wheeler,Terry Hartig,Sara L. Warber,Sara L. Warber,Angie Bone,Michael H. Depledge,Lora E. Fleming +9 more
TL;DR: Positive associations between recreational nature contact in the last seven days and self-reported health and well-being were consistent across key groups including older adults and those with long-term health issues.

View through a window may influence recovery from surgery
TL;DR: Surgical patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays, received fewer negative evaluative comments in nurses' notes, and took fewer potent analgesics than matched patients in similar Rooms with windows facing a brick building wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
The restorative benefits of nature: Toward an integrative framework
TL;DR: Attention Restoration Theory provides an analysis of the kinds of experiences that lead to recovery from such fatigue and an integrative framework is proposed that places both directed attention and stress in the larger context of human-environment relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature and Health
TL;DR: This work focuses on nature as represented by aspects of the physical environment relevant to planning, design, and policy measures that serve broad segments of urbanized societies and considers research on pathways between nature and health involving air quality, physical activity, social cohesion, and stress reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green space, urbanity, and health: how strong is the relation?
TL;DR: This research shows that the percentage of green space in people’s living environment has a positive association with the perceived general health of residents, and green space seems to be more than just a luxury and consequently the development of greenspace should be allocated a more central position in spatial planning policy.

Effect of exposure to natural environment on health inequalities: an observational population study
Richard Mitchell,Frank Popham +1 more
TL;DR: The association between income deprivation and mortality differed significantly across the groups of exposure to green space for mortality from all causes and circulatory disease, but not from lung cancer or intentional self-harm, which suggests physical environments that promote good health might be important to reduce socioeconomic health inequalities.
