Implication

Systematic review shows schoolyard greening positively affects children’s health and neighborhood dynamics, indicating potential risks of gentrification.

Key Points

Schoolyard greening enhances children's socioemotional well-being and increases physical activity levels.
Evidence suggests that renovated outdoor spaces promote unstructured play and student engagement.
Benefits of greening projects are unevenly distributed, favoring affluent neighborhoods over disadvantaged ones.
Without inclusive policies, schoolyard greening may exacerbate socioeconomic disparities and lead to displacement.
