Greenspace in urban neighbourhoods and residents' health (2011)

adding quality to quantity

Previous research shows a positive link between the amount of green area in one’s residential neighbourhood and self-reported health. However, little research has been done on the quality of the green area, as well as on quantity and quality of smaller natural elements in the streetscape. This study investigates the link between the objectively assessed quantity and quality of (1) green areas and (2) streetscape greenery on the one hand and three self-reported health indicators on the other. The quantity and also the quality of greenspace in one’s neighbourhood seem relevant with regard to health. Furthermore, streetscape greenery is at least as strongly related to self-reported health as green areas.
