Problem
A park that lies far away is rarely visited in daily life, however beautiful it might be. Without usable green space close at hand, time outdoors becomes a rare excursion instead of a natural part of everyday routine.
Solution
Make sure every home has a piece of usable green within a few minutes' walk, for a park only comes alive for people when it sits close enough to reach on an ordinary day.
