The findings of a recent study by researchers from Stanford University suggest that even your local city park may be improving your health. The research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, lays out how access to nature increases people s physical activity and therefore overall health in cities. Lack of physical activity in the US results in USD 117 billion a year in related health care costs and leads to 3.2 million deaths globally every year.
It may seem like an intuitive connection, but the new research closes an important gap in understanding how building nature into cities can support overall human wellbeing. Over the past year of shelter-in-place restrictions, we ve learned how valuable and fulfilling it can be to spend time outdoors in nature, especially for city-dwellers, said study lead author Roy Remme, a postdoctoral researcher at the Stanford Natural Capital Project at the time of research.

Researchers map how people in cities get a health boost from nature
Trees lining a street may encourage people to take a longer stroll or choose to bike to work. New research shows how access to natural areas in cities can improve human health by supporting physical activity. The researchers plan to equip city planners with tools to create healthier, more sustainable cities around the world. By Sarah Cafasso
