India’s urban population is rapidly increasing and is projected by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to reach 600 million by 2031. With this growth, mental health problems are also expected to rise due to job stress, loneliness, and financial strain. As Indian cities expand, green spaces such as parks, gardens, and forests are shrinking, though their positive effects are undeniable. Youth mental health must remain a national priority, as nearly 11 percent of adults experience poor mental health according to the National Mental Health Survey (2016). Common issues like stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction require urgent attention. Promoting green spaces can be an effective step toward supporting youth well-being. Research shows that contact with nature reduces stress, improves mood, and encourages activity. This study explores how urban parks and green zones can enhance youth mental health through better planning, equitable green access, and protection of existing spaces.
