Understanding the potential of urban parks to promote well-being

Nature Cities 2025

Scores close to zero (shown in white) indicate that a park provides an average level of facilities and spaces for health-promoting activities. Positive scores represent parks that are better equipped than average, whereas negative scores (shaded from grey to black) reflect a relative lack of such amenities. Scores are normalized within each city, meaning they describe how a park performs relative to others in the same city and are not directly comparable across cities. Project Page
