TL;DR: In this article, potential pathways linking greenspace to health are presented in three domains, which emphasize three general functions of greenspace: reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air pollution, noise and heat), restoring capacities (i.e., attention restoration and physiological stress recovery), and encouraging physical activity and facilitating social cohesion). Interrelations between among the three domains are also noted.

TL;DR: It is shown that high levels of green space presence during childhood are associated with lower risk of a wide spectrum of psychiatric disorders later in life, supporting efforts to better integrate natural environments into urban planning and childhood life.
