Relationship Between Urban Green Spaces and Cancer: A Scoping Review

Abstract: This scoping study aims to explore the relationships between urban green spaces (UGSs) and cancer. We followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (protocol published in 2018). Eligibility criteria for papers were: 1) to be concerned with UGSs, 2) reporting effects of UGSs on cancer-related outcomes including direct or indirect measures, 3) reporting randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, case studies, observational studies, non-comparative studies, 4) in English or French.

“…A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to natural environments, such as urban green space, may have a bene cial role in the prevention or survival cancer, but the evidence is still inconclusive (Ojeda Sánchez et al, 2021; Porcherie et al, 2021) [13,14]. But it is still more limited evidence regarding the effects of exposure to blue spaces and health [4].…”

“…Some of empirically investigated benefits of greenspace on CV health include increased angiogenic capacity [72], reduced CVD risk [17,73], decreased CVD morbidity [74], and decreased CVD mortality [19,75,76]. Similarly, some of the benefits of greenspace on cancer outcomes include enhanced cancer prevention initiatives [77,78], reduced cancer incidence [78,79], improved cancer survivorship [78,80], and reduced prostate cancer mortality [81]. Additionally, greenspace helps in sequestering carbon and contributing to greenhouse gases reduction, therefore is a viable intervention for the adverse impacts of climate change on both environmental and human health [82].…”

“…Maintaining this diversity has been recognized as a major environmental issue and priority at both the international and local levels (Philippe, 2007). Green areas have a positive effect on the quality of life of residents in urban areas (Porcherie et al, 2021), through their benefits on health (Faure et al, 2019), social cohesion and the environment (Dehimi and Hadjab, 2019). Green areas represent a natural heritage by creating an urban landscape which can reinforce people's sense of belonging and identity and protect vulnerable areas (Minzhanova et al, 2021).…”
