Green Spaces such as parks or gardens are recreational and relaxing areas that are essential to communities around the United States because they provide several physical, mental, ecological, and also health benefits that should be utilized by every neighborhood in the United States. However, as overurbanization persists as cities grow, the disproportionate amount of Green Spaces in certain areas of the United States deprives some Urban communities from obtaining the advantages of green spaces.

Why is This Important?

       The presence of green spaces has mental and physical benefits to individuals in the community as it creates an ecosystem with better clean air surrounding these environments. This improves well-being, reduces stress levels, and increases the lifespan of residents. Furthermore, it reduces pollution from carbon as well as other chemical compounds dispersed from industries and vehicles to improve ventilation. Therefore, it is beneficial in combating dangerous gasses plaguing one's health. Additionally, it is beneficial in improving social relationships among people in the community and encouraging diversity as it encourages connection/communication with people from different ethnic groups to build as well as share values. 

       Therefore, I believe there should be an improvement in the ratio of Green Spaces in unavailable areas as well as address the issue of unequal distribution of Green Spaces related to socio-economic status.
