"Access to nature is essential for our health and wellbeing. However, as our
cities become increasingly crowded, it becomes more and more challenging to
find ways to connect with nature in urban spaces.
We know urban parks are key places to engage with nature. However, our research
suggests informal green spaces – despite being unplanned, untended and often
overlooked – are equally important. We have found people use informal green
spaces, such as vacant lots and vegetated areas along railway lines, to engage
with nature just as much as in formal green spaces.
This raises the question: should we be doing more to embrace these neglected
spaces?"
