Urban green spaces ...

I thought we had a thread on this before but I can't find one - sorry.

A study hows what I imagine we all knew - that people are happier and healthier if they have green areas in their towns:
BBC NEWS | Health | Green spaces 'reduce health gap'

A lot of interesting back references there:
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Urban planning needs green rethink
Green Space
