From ecological, recreational, rehabilitation, decorative spaces to protective ones such as forests, parks, or gardens. When talking about urban green spaces, it refers to those within a city. That is, fundamental public spaces to promote sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1a4c05b51cc99ccb4e7a2f8dadcdb685\" style=\"color:#679784\">Why are green spaces needed in cities?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>88% of urban area residents are exposed to high levels of pollution, causing more than 200,000 premature deaths in the European Union in 2020. This, together with the speed of the urbanization process and demographic changes, leads to two of the main challenges we face today: non-communicable diseases and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring these green areas in cities contributes to fulfilling Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.7 &#8220;provide universal access to safe, inclusive, and accessible green and public spaces,&#8221; and more and more epidemiological studies demonstrate their benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7e1ecfb3f6128542460c9495e55b3a2a\" style=\"color:#679784\">Benefits of maintaining urban green spaces:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, you will find a list of all the benefits of living near a green space or natural area, or the positive effects of regularly visiting them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Helps combat stress and depression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fosters cognitive development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces premature mortality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boosts physical activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facilitates social interaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases life expectancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mitigates air pollution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces levels of heat and noise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases property value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreases violence and crime as a result of greater social cohesion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces healthcare costs thanks to the health benefits to society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that more than 80% of the Spanish population lives in cities, it is essential to create an environment that promotes a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. <a href=\"https:\/\/co2revolution.es\/en\/contact\/\">Help us create more green spaces and make it easier to enjoy these benefits.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that there should be a green space measuring at least 0.5 hectares at a straight line distance of no more than 300 meters from every home.
