​​Environmental Greenness and Cardiovascular Health​

Discover a compelling exploration of how nature shapes our hearts in William W. Aitken’s Environmental Greenness and Cardiovascular Health. This authoritative book brings together cutting-edge epidemiology, practical urban planning insights, and clear public-health implications to reveal why parks, trees, and green corridors matter for heart health in cities and communities around the globe.

Through vivid case studies from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Aitken examines the evidence linking green spaces to lower blood pressure, reduced stress, improved physical activity, and better cardiovascular outcomes.

Perfect for clinicians, public-health professionals, urban planners, policymakers, graduate students, and informed readers, this book blends scholarly depth with practical guidance. Learn how city planners can integrate green infrastructure, how healthcare systems can incorporate environmental strategies, and how communities can advocate for healthier, greener neighborhoods.
