Overview

Systematic review shows schoolyard greening improves children's health and neighborhood transformation, suggesting careful planning is needed to avoid green gentrification.

Key Points

  • Schoolyard greening promotes children's health by enhancing physical activity and socioemotional well-being.
  • Positive effects include increased use of outdoor spaces and engagement via varied play areas and natural features.
  • Greening projects can lead to neighborhood development but may also trigger green gentrification affecting low-income residents.
  • Effective solutions must emphasize equity and community involvement to ensure fair distribution of benefits from greening initiatives.
