Article Synopsis
- Research shows that living near greenery is beneficial for physical and mental health, often assessed from a bird's eye view, while street view images (SVI) offer a new perspective on greenery experienced daily by residents.
- A systematic review analyzed 35 articles on the connection between SVI-measured greenery and mental health, finding that about two-thirds of studies reported positive links, but the overall evidence quality was low.
- The review highlights the potential of SVI as a valuable tool for assessing greenery's health benefits and suggests future research should focus on standardizing datasets and expanding studies beyond high-income countries for better applicability.
