Abstract
Green spaces are one of the most important components of cities and they have had an evolving role in the life of city residents. Reviews throughout the world have proven the power of green spaces to improve human health. This study presents the findings of a brief literature review relating to health benefits of green spaces. The review reflects material from sources that include peer-reviewed literature, library and internet. The results of the study revealed the health benefits of green space such as increased physical activity, stress reduction and recreational and sports activity. Scientists declare that green spaces increase our ability to focus, both on the tasks at hand and on our instinctively viewed surroundings. Green spaces provide ideal surfaces for a variety of recreational and sports activity and high use activities including parks and playgrounds. Access to green space is an important predictor of increased physical activity.
