Research Reflection

What Surprised Me

The degree to which even small green interventions (like street trees or pocket parks) could measurably impact community health outcomes was beyond what I initially hypothesized.

Challenges Faced

Accessing reliable comparative data across different cities required creative methodology and help from my research advisor to navigate municipal databases.

Academic Growth

This project significantly improved my skills in data analysis, academic writing, and synthesizing information from diverse sources into a cohesive argument.
