Summary: The lockdown brought new challenges for our physical and mental well-being. It has also left us with a more intense and intimate relationship with our immediate environment. Be it our gardens, our window boxes, our balconies, or the paths on which we took our daily walks these spaces have become critical to our sense of place and well-being during lockdown.

In this special event with the Centre for Society and Mental Health and Department of Geography we discuss how nature and our environment is critical to our mental and physical well-being. Why this crisis has given us an opportunity to reflect on the importance of our green space and environment to our well-being. And why this crisis has further demonstrated inequalities of access to space.
