Urban greenspace a protective lifeline against COVID-19 depression, study suggests

Green space helped protect the mental health of city-bound Canadians during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study suggests, even as the number of people with depression surged. People living in greener neighbourhoods were less likely to be depressed in the first months of the pandemic, said the study published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One, with stronger benefits for those who weren't already depressed.

Urban green space was a protective lifeline against COVID depression, study suggests

A new study suggests green space helped protect the mental health of city-bound Canadians during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The peer-reviewed study suggests people who lived in urban areas with more greenery were less likely to be depressed in the first months of the pandemic. Those benefits were stronger among people who were not depressed before the pandemic. Green spaces' protective lifeline was also more pronounced among people with lower incomes and mobility issues, but only for those who weren't already depressed. Lead author and Carleton University professor Paul Villeneuve says the study highlights how urban planning and mental health policy should prioritize equitable access to green space to strengthen community resilience.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 21, 2025.
