Green cities, healthy cities? Exploring the potential of urban greenspaces for improving people’s mental health in rapidly urbanising cities
Urbanisation in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) reduces opportunities to interact with greenspaces in people’s everyday lives, with potentially detrimental outcomes for their mental health. Given the increasing burden of mental ill-health associated with urbanisation in LMICs, there is a clear need to better understand the role urban greenspaces play in mitigating mental ill-health. This talk will discuss the potential of urban green spaces for improving people’s mental health in rapidly urbanising cities, and issues and barriers that surround planning for healthier cities in such settings.
Maximilian Nawrath is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds in the UK. The main motivation for his research is to contribute to societal transformations towards sustainability. His current work focuses on exploring relationships between urban greenspaces and mental health in rapidly urbanising cities in low- and middle-income countries, on devising novel methods for assessing biodiversity – mental health relationships, and on the economic valuation of ecosystem services. He has worked and studied in international and interdisciplinary teams in Germany, Norway, UK, India, and his current research takes place in Nepal.
