ABSTRACT

There is ever more pressure on nature in cities where most people live now and more will do so in the future, possibly resulting in fewer opportunities for green exercise. In the future we need to create more suitable nature spaces in cities for exercise. However, in order to reduce our global footprint, and meet the demands of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), urban societies will need to become denser. How do we future-proof our cities and still meet societal demands for healthy, liveable cities?
