世界卫生组织和联合国认识到，在下个世纪，世界上绝大多数人口将生活在城市地区，因此制定了政策框架和指导方针，以促进增加城市绿地以促进人口健康。然而，这些承诺并没有为城市政策提供解决生活方式疾病和促进城市人口福祉所需的特定设计属性的具体指导。此外，绿色空间通常被视为同质环境类型。为了解决这些弱点，本文采用生命全程方法整理和审查了将健康、福祉和绿色空间联系起来的证据。文献普遍认可这样的观点：城市绿色空间作为更广泛环境背景的一部分，可以促进整个生命过程中的健康和福祉。根据证据，确定了特定群体和跨领域的设计干预措施，并提出了一个促进健康和福祉的通用综合绿色空间框架。这种分析视角有助于提炼大量研究成果，并制定具体的规划和设计指南，以提供更具包容性的绿色空间，满足人们在生命周期各个阶段的不同需求。 (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
In recognition that the coming century will see a substantial majority of the world's population living in urban areas, the World Health Organisation and the United Nations have developed policy frameworks and guidance which promote the increased provision of urban green space for population health. However, these undertakings do not provide specific guidance for urban policy in terms of the particular design attributes required to tackle lifestyle illnesses and to promote well-being in urban populations. Furthermore, green spaces have generally been treated as a homogenous environment type. In order to address these weaknesses, this paper collates and reviews the evidence linking health, well-being and green space using a life-course approach. The literature generally endorses the view that urban green spaces, as part of the wider environmental context, promote health and well-being across the life course. Based on the evidence, cohort-specific and cross-cutting design interventions are identified and a general integrated green space framework for health and well-being is proposed. This analytical lens facilitates distillation of a vast quantum of research and the formulation of specific planning and design guidance for the provision of more inclusive green spaces that respond to the varying needs of people across all life-course stages.
