Positive health effects on the natural outdoor environment in typical populations of different regions in Europe (PHENOTYPE)

About this project

• Centre for Health and Development (CHAD)

PHENOTYPE investigated the underlying mechanisms in different population groups using a range of research methods. The project further examined the effects of different characteristics of the natural outdoor environment, and address the implications for land-use planning and green space management.
