Portable Urban Green Space

E-mail Print

The Grass Wheel was created by a group of students from the Dalhousie School of Architecture and is a humorous look at the real need for green spaces in urban environments.  With the Grass Wheel you can take green space with you wherever you travel.

Although the Grass Wheel may not be that practical, but the premise is based on sound science. Numerous studies have demonstrated that green space promotes feelings of well-being, safety, calm and has even been shown to aid in recovery from illness and/or medical conditions. Researchers at the University of Sheffield found that contact with green spaces has measurable physical and psychological benefits.

The Grass Wheel is an older design, but one that shows promises for the future.
