Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question below. "Urban planners have long debated the value of incorporating green spaces — parks, street trees, and community gardens — into densely populated city environments. While critics often argue that land devoted to parks represents lost revenue from commercial development, a growing body of research challenges this assumption. Studies conducted in cities ranging from New York to Singapore have found that proximity to green spaces correlates with measurable reductions in residents' stress hormones, lower rates of anxiety disorders, and increased social cohesion among neighbors who use shared outdoor areas. Furthermore, commercial property values within a quarter-mile of well-maintained parks consistently outperform comparable properties in park-deprived areas, suggesting that green infrastructure generates economic returns that offset its development costs." What is the central claim of this passage?
