Webinar: Urban Green Spaces and Health
Presented by Dr. Matilda van den Bosch
THURSDAY | SEP 14, 2017 | 11:00am-12:00pm PDT

An increasing amount of research demonstrates that trees and green spaces are cornerstones for healthy urban environments. Green spaces support stress relief and recovery from mental fatigue, which contributes substantially to health and well-being.
This presentation will outline pathways and mechanisms behind the health effects from urban natural environments. It will also present obstacles to policy and practice implementation and suggest possible ways forward.

Dr. van den Bosch is a doctor in medicine as well as in landscape planning and public health. Since July 2016, she is an assistant professor at The University of British Columbia, Canada, where she holds a shared position between the School of Population and Public Health and the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences. Her research focuses on the influence of environmental exposures on human health.
