Psych Central reported on research from UBC which found that city residents with higher incomes and better education are more likely to have access to greenery in urban environments.
“Vegetation keeps our cities cool, improves air quality, reduces storm water runoff and reduces stress — it makes a huge difference in citizens’ well-being,” said Lorien Nesbitt, a postdoctoral research and teaching fellow in UBC’s department of forest resources management.
Nesbitt was also interviewed on CKNW.
