Overview

Systematic review demonstrates positive effects of schoolyard greening on children's health and neighborhood transformation, highlighting risks of green gentrification.

Key Points

  • Schoolyard greening significantly enhances children's socioemotional well-being and encourages physical activity.
  • Research shows increased use of outdoor spaces when varied play areas and natural features are included.
  • Greening efforts in affluent areas often lead to better infrastructure and greater accessibility, increasing inequality.
  • Effective policies emphasizing equity and community involvement are essential to mitigate displacement and ensure benefits for disadvantaged populations.
