“The analysis, which included nine longitudinal studies involving seven countries and a total of over eight million people, provides strong evidence on the impact of increasing green areas on mortality.”
Residential greenness can protect against premature all-cause mortality. 👉 Today we have published in @TheLancetPlanet the largest synthesis to date on #GreenSpaces 🌳 and mortality, together with @WHO & @ColoradoStateU cc @drrbcn @FundlaCaixa ow.ly/bID150xgJUY
Accessibility and usability of urban space is key to health promotion and #activeliving.

This simply isn't good enough. Physical activity can reduce all mortality by 20%. No drug ever invented can deliver the health benefits being active. Enabling more people to be more active has to be more of priority for government.

An economic point of view: "#Sustainable #urbandevelopment benefits from investments in nature. The green makes us sense city’s noise less loud. The stress level drops. Less blood pressure, cardiovascular&respiratory illnesses. Less social costs for diseases." by @TEEB4ME @UFZ_de

Brief history: Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis @CASAUCL @BartlettUCL and their pioneer work. We will definitely look out for models and analyses related to the use of urban #GreenInfrastructure & #BlueInfrastructure for #PhysicalActivity & #urbanhealth. 🤓
How does spatial analysis help us understand cities? @jmichaelbatty is interviewed on his career & the evolution of @CASAUCL. #Bartlett100 bit.ly/B100CASA
Our GameLab-participants tested the #UrbanHealthGame a month ago on an icy morning ❄️💪🏼 Tomorrow we will see the results. We are excited! #PhysicalActivity #urbanhealth #gamedesign
