We sat down with Dr. Devisscher to discuss the study findings and their implications for urban greening and mental health.The LRN index is a new tool that is specifically designed to assess the healing qualities of green. Research tells us that green spaces have many qualities that can promote mental well-being, but we don't have a systematic, location-specific method for assessing these qualities. We formulated the LRN index to enable us to do that.
More importantly, we found that areas with the greatest need for restorative nature often have the least exposure to it. When we compared LRN scores in different neighborhoods with their socioeconomic vulnerability, we noticed that more vulnerable neighborhoods typically had lower LRN scores. For our study, socioeconomic vulnerability was assessed by combining census data, including housing types, employment rates and cultural diversity. Neighborhoods with a higher proportion of rental housing, lower employment rates, or greater ethnocultural diversity tended to receive higher vulnerability scores.We found a distinct gradient running from west to east in the city.
