El efecto de las áreas verdes urbanas en el desempeño académico en un contexto de pandemia
Resumen
Las áreas verdes urbanas son conocidas por transmitir paz y bienestar a las personas expuestas a ellas. Debido a ello, las políticas públicas consideran que las áreas verdes deben estar incluidas en la planeación urbana; sin embargo, la evidencia indica que no muchos centros urbanos tienen a su disposición dichas áreas; es decir, hay personas que, por vivir en ciertos distritos, se beneficiarían más de los efectos positivos de la naturaleza que otros. ¿Cómo se daría en el caso de los estudiantes durante la pandemia? Este ensayo presenta evidencia acerca de cómo la naturaleza nos mejora la calidad de vida y las repercusiones que nos produce al no estar expuestos a ella. Especialmente en estos tiempos de pandemia, porque en Lima no todos los distritos tienen el mismo acceso a dichas áreas.
