The latest World Health Organization report on green and blue space and mental health (2021) calls for greater, and better, urban nature environments, i. e., "wilder" urban parks, tree-laden sidewalks, and overall presence of nature in the urban environment. Evidence shows that living close to and interacting with nature promotes benefits to numerous health and well-being indicators. The present article narratively reviews what are the aspects of urban nature environments that enhance health and wellbeing markers, which aspects are preferred among users and visitors of urban nature environments, and how can the benefits for health and wellbeing be understood from a theoretical perspective. Finally, guided by the ecological dynamics framework, suggestions are put forward on how designers and planners of urban nature environments can consider affordances to promote physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing; and how exercise and health researchers and professionals may channel the interaction of individuals with the nature environment in their interventions and programs.
世界卫生组织关于绿色和蓝色空间与心理健康的最新报告（2021 年）呼吁营造更好、更多的城市自然环境，即“更自然”的城市公园、绿树成荫的人行道以及城市环境中整体存在的自然。有证据表明，生活在亲近自然和与自然互动的环境中有助于促进众多健康和幸福指标的改善。本文从理论角度叙述了城市自然环境的哪些方面可以增强健康和幸福的标志，城市自然环境的使用者和访客更喜欢哪些方面，以及如何理解这些对健康和幸福的益处。最后，本文根据生态动力学框架提出了一些建议，即城市自然环境的设计者和规划者如何考虑利用环境提供的便利来促进体育活动行为、健康和幸福感；以及运动和健康研究人员和专业人员如何在干预和项目中引导个人与自然环境的互动。
