A greener Adelaide means healthier communities

29 May 2019

As part of the Healthy Parks Healthy People SA initiative, the Department for Health and Wellbeing and the Department for Environment and Water have launched a Better Greener campaign to raise awareness about how green spaces support people’s health and wellbeing, our urban ecosystem and our local economy.

A greener Adelaide means healthier communities — Green spaces support health and wellbeing, our urban ecosystem and our local economy

Research shows that access to high-quality public and private green space is key to maintaining sustainable and liveable cities and healthy and connected communities.

There is evidence that most of Adelaide’s metropolitan areas have experienced a decline in green space in recent years. As our cities grow and densify, the design and delivery of green open spaces has become a key challenge for the urban planning, health and environment sectors.

As part of the Better Greener campaign we’d like to hear what green space means to you, because we believe a growing Adelaide is better greener.
