Abstract

This research explores the intricate relationship between green spaces and the mental well-being of children aged 8-13 in the context of global urbanization, with a focus on selected areas in Pune city. The study employs a comparative descriptive design to differentiate between children with and without access to green spaces. Findings indicate a significant difference in mental well-being based on the presence or absence of green spaces. Implications underscore the importance of urban planning integrating green spaces, promoting outdoor education, and raising community awareness. The study advocates for public health initiatives, safety measures, and a balanced approach to technology and outdoor play. The long-term impact on public health, support for green initiatives, and interdisciplinary collaboration are discussed, urging policymakers to consider green spaces in global urbanization plans.
