The research shows how access to nature in cities increases physical activity, and therefore, overall health. Lack of physical activity in the US results in $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 well-being. “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,” says lead author Roy Remme, a postdoctoral researcher at the Stanford University’s Natural Capital Project at the time of research.
