Recent research by the University of British Columbia suggests living in areas with high exposure to green space can help set them up for success.
For the study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, researchers at the UBC faculty of forestry and faculty of medicine analyzed the developmental scores of 27,372 children in Metro Vancouver who attended kindergarten between 2005 and 2011.
They estimated the amount of green space around each child's residence from birth to age five. They also assessed levels of traffic-related air pollution and community noise. The results highlight the fundamental importance of natural green spaces like street trees, parks and community gardens, authors say.
