Supporting Detail on Urban Green Spaces

The following excerpt is from a research paper on urban planning:

Efficient urban planning not only enhances the quality of life for residents but also leads to economic growth. One key aspect is the integration of green spaces into city landscapes. Studies have shown that areas with increased greenery often report lower crime rates and improved community engagement. Furthermore, having parks and recreational areas encourages physical activity among residents, which can lead to better public health. An example of successful urban green space implementation can be seen in the renovation of Central Park in New York, which transformed the area into a vibrant community hub.
