Abstract Rapid urbanization has decreased opportunities for nature contact while increasing stressors from pollution, strenuous commutes, and sedentary work environments. With an additional 2.5 billion people expected to reside in cities by 2050, novel solutions are required to integrate urban natures. Urban parks and greenways provide opportunities for restorative nature experiences, but the benefits of small-scale greenspace remain relatively unstudied. Subsequently, this study explores perceived wellbeing associated with residing near ‘green alleys.’ Focus groups and interviews revealed most respondents did not identify specific mental health impacts, but factors known to contribute to mental wellbeing emerged. Results indicate that green-alley residents receive health benefits regardless of their explicit recognition. Implications for urban planners include the need for increased intentional greening of small-scale urban spaces with consideration to residents’ aesthetic preferences.

促进健康的鲜花盛开的小巷:探索小规模绿地对社区福祉的影响

摘要 快速的城市化减少了与自然接触的机会,同时增加了污染、繁重的通勤和久坐的工作环境带来的压力。到 2050 年,预计将有 25 亿人居住在城市,因此需要新的解决方案来整合城市自然。城市公园和绿道为恢复性自然体验提供了机会,但小规模绿地的好处仍未得到充分研究。随后,这项研究探讨了与居住在“绿色小巷”附近相关的感知幸福感。焦点小组和访谈显示,大多数受访者没有确定具体的心理健康影响,但出现了已知有助于心理健康的因素。结果表明,无论他们是否得到明确承认,绿道居民都会获得健康益处。
