- - Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing a rapid increase in urbanization, expected to double its urban population by 2050, leading to significant public health issues related to climate change and environmental changes, such as heat waves.
- - This scoping review will analyze existing studies on green space availability, usage factors, and health impacts to understand urban greening's role in improving well-being in SSA, using systematic search methods across various academic databases.
- - The study doesn't require ethical approval since it won't involve primary data collection, and findings will be shared through peer-reviewed journals and conferences after being registered on the Open Science Framework.
