Alliance’s Sonika Rawal unpacks the relationship between human health and green environments

Congratulations to our very own Sonika Rawal for her breakthrough research at NCSU on the effects of green environments on the improvement of human health and well-being. Her findings bring policy makers and planners closer to developing green spaces to help reduce stress, especially in urban areas. Notably, her use of virtual technology in the study allowed research participants to experience the impact of outdoor environments regardless of their locations or limitations.
