Abstract
Exciting times are afoot. There appears to be increasing recognition that contact with nature can yield a range of health benefits. Major efforts are underway to improve access to discrete green spaces, as well as to increase tree canopy cover, within many cities in Australia and around the world. Green space is being appreciated as an important component of a liveable city and many of the underlying reasons are now widely known. Or are they?
Matters of contingency and evidence show how some groups are able to reap the benefits of green space more than others. There are emerging ideas and evidence for hitherto unexplored pathways, linking green space and health. There are possible avenues for future academic-industry research collaboration and coproduction
