Design and Evaluation of Urban Green Corridors for Enhancing Physical and Mental Health of City Dwellers

This research aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of how urban green corridors could be effectively designed and implemented to enhance the physical and mental health of city dwellers, as well as improve the overall sustainability and liveability of urban areas. By analysing data from existing sources and case studies, the study found that the incorporation of diverse and well designed green infrastructure into urban planning and development can greatly enhance the sustainability, resilience, and overall liveability of urban areas. Well designed urban green corridors were shown to promote physical activity, social interaction, and restorative experiences, leading to improved mood, general well being, and stronger community ties. The study emphasizes the importance of considering ecological quality and biodiversity when creating these green spaces, as variations in flora and fauna can significantly impact the degree of health and psychological benefits. The findings strongly support the idea that strategic planning and design of multifunctional green infrastructure that caters to the diverse needs of urban residents is crucial for building more liveable, sustainable, and resilient cities that prioritize the overall well being of their citizen.
