Greenspace and obesity: a systematic review of the evidence
Obesity Reviews, 2011SummaryGreenspace is theoretically a valuable resource for physical activity and hence has potential to contribute to reducing obesity and improving health. This paper reports on a systematic review of quantitative research examining the association between objectively measured access to greenspace and (i) Physical activity, (ii) Weight status and (iii)

Contested Greenspace Solidarities?
Nature and Culture, 2022Urban allotment gardens constitute urban natures with a rich history as well as potential public redevelopment land. While many cities in Europe struggle to protect allotment gardens from competing land-use forces, in Copenhagen, allotments are classified as valuable urban nature and enjoy special protection.

Greenspaces And Cardiovascular Health
Circulation ResearchAccumulating evidence suggests that living in areas of high surrounding greenness or even brief exposures to areas of high greenery is conducive to cardiovascular health, which may be related to the environmental, social, psychological, and physiological benefits of greenspaces.

ABSTRACT Urbanisation is altering local flora and fauna, but urban greenspaces can provide refugia for a variety of taxa. However, we often lack basic biodiversity information (e.g., species richness) for these urban greenspaces. Citizen science projects are continuously improving our understanding of ecology at broad temporal and ...

Connecting with Local Greenspaces
2023Despite research showing that half of all mental health problems emerge by the age of 14 years, there is little information for why this occurs. The opportunities for intervention, and for education towards mental health issues, may be more effective during the middle years than at any other point in a child’s life, given the poignant nature of this ...

Greenspace exposure and sleep: A systematic review
Environmental Research, 2020Green space is considered a critical environmental factor for sleep quality and quantity. However, no systematic review exploring this relationship exists. The purpose of this systematic review was to 1) explore research related to green space and sleep, and 2) examine the impact of green space exposure on sleep quality and quantity.
