GBStressFree: Reducing Emissions of Last Mile

The profound effects of commuting on health and well-being have attracted interest from many research communities and media outlets. Long commutes are associated with chronic stress, physical and emotional exhaustion, and other psychological and behavioural consequences. At the same time, research suggests that green-blue spaces can have positive effects on health and well- being, for example, by reducing stress levels. The aim of our study was twofold: first, to highlight the positive impact of green-blue spaces on people’s well-being, by running a pilot experiment; second, to define a ‘stress-reducing’ route planner.
