Abstract

The lack of planning in the urbanization process of big cities worldwide has produced numerous negative externalities, including the suppression of vegetation and green spaces. Multiple benefits have been reported on how urban vegetation promotes and influences environmental, social and economic factors, as well as people's health. This paper presents a series of studies focusing on the association between urban vegetation and human health, as well as a brief reflection on the importance of this issue in the city of São Paulo.
