Urban natural environments as nature-based solutions for improved public health – A systematic review of reviews
M. van den Bosch,Å Ode Sang +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that there is strong evidence for improved affect as well as on heat reduction from urban natural environments, and guidelines on how public health and well-being could be integrated into implementation of NBS for resilient and liveable urban landscapes and health in a changing climate are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The health benefits of nature-based solutions to urbanization challenges for children and the elderly - A systematic review
TL;DR: An overview of the current state of evidence on the relationship between the health of children and the elderly and urban green and blue spaces that can account as nature‐based solutions to urbanization‐induced challenges is provided.

Reduction of physiological stress by urban green space in a multisensory virtual experiment
Marcus Hedblom,Bengt Gunnarsson,Behzad Iravani,Igor Knez,Martin Schaefer,Pontus Thorsson,Johan N. Lundström +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that olfactory stimuli may be better at facilitating stress reduction than visual stimuli and currently, urban planners prioritise visual stimuli when planning open green spaces, but urban planners should also consider multisensory qualities.

TL;DR: In this article, a pan-European survey was conducted to assess how people use urban parks and how recreational patterns relate to respondents' sociocultural and geographical contexts (using 19 explanatory variables) and found that respondents share a general pattern in their recreational activities with a prevalence for the physical uses of parks, especially taking a walk.

Restorative Effects of Natural Environment Experiences
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of different theoretical models of restorative experience was explored in a quasi-experimental field study and a true experiment, and convergence self-report and performance results obtained in both studies offer evidence of greater restorative effects arising from experiences in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of evidence for the added benefits to health of exposure to natural environments
TL;DR: It is suggestive that natural environments may have direct and positive impacts on well-being, but support the need for investment in further research on this question to understand the general significance for public health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The significance of parks to physical activity and public health: a conceptual model.
TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed to guide thinking and suggest hypotheses about the relationships between park benefits, park use, and physical activity, and the antecedents/correlates of park use that focus on park environmental characteristics that could be related to physical activity.

Natural Environments—Healthy Environments? An Exploratory Analysis of the Relationship between Greenspace and Health:
TL;DR: In this paper, a multilevel analysis was conducted by combining Dutch data on the self-reported health of over 10, 000 people with land-use data, on the amount of greenspace in their living environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a framework for ecosystem services research and practice, addressing three challenges: (1) non-material values are ill suited to characterization using monetary methods; (2) it is difficult to unequivocally link particular changes in socioecological systems to cultural benefits; and (3) cultural benefits are associated with many services, not just cultural ES.
