В данной обзорной статье в результате анализа англоязычной литературы 2017–2018 годов представлена роль ‘зелёных’ и ‘голубых’ пространств природы в улучшении микроклимата и дизайна городов и улучшения здоровья и психоэмоционального состояния горожан. Актуальность проблемы подчёркивается и рекомендациями ВОЗ, которая в 2017 году вновь оповестила, что считает стратегической задачей профилактику хронических неинфекционных заболеваний среди горожан, в том числе, путём дополнительного создания поддерживающих здоровье ‘зелёных’ и ‘голубых’ городских территорий, легкодоступных жителям разных районов. Увеличение физической активности, релаксации и межличностного взаимодействия в результате регулярного посещения ‘зеленых’ и ‘голубых’ оазисов городов – это главные пути превентивной медицины, безлекарственного улучшения здоровья и психоэмоционального состояния проживающих в них людей независимо от пола, возраста и состояния здоровья.
