Urban greenness affects people’s physical and mental health. Residential greenness is associated with reductions in cortisol levels after six months in patients with chronic heart failure undergoing rehabilitation.
We compared cross-city differences in the walking environment in Madrid and Philadelphia as a case study
How do we develop liveable cities? Researchers in St. Louis surveyed multiple disciplines to see what skills we need to make future places healthy, equitable,
