Abstract

Maintaining human health is one of the most important
challenges facing our society, and there are many reviews of empirical
studies on the relationship between nature and human health. It found a
consistent negative association between exposure to urban green spaces,
mortality, heart rate, violence, and a positive association with attention,
mood, and physical activity, with more than half of the world's population
now living in urban areas, and this proportion is expected to increase.
The urban-type has an impact on the traveling actions, which affects air
quality on open spaces, and the global environment.
The World Health Organization tends to study the social need to provide a
healthy environment around the world for all age groups by improving
regular physical activity and greening in urban spaces. Therefore, it is
imperative to rethink the methods of managing and designing urban spaces in
Egypt to preserve public health and reduce the total dependence on medical
care providers by redesign our urban spaces.
