Home Wellbeing – The Influence of Environment on Child Development

A study published by the World Health Organization in 2018 highlighted several important data points:

• 93% Among children worldwide, air pollution is so high that their health and development are seriously endangered;
• One in ten deaths in children under 5 years old are caused by air pollution;
• 1.8 billion children under 15 years old are exposed to high levels of harmful particles;
• In addition to well-known lung conditions, air pollution can lead to communication disorders, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorders.;

Unfortunately, children are much more affected than adults, given that the pollutant particles are in higher quantities at low altitudes, closer to ground level, and since Bucharest is one of the most polluted cities in Europe, it is easy to understand why Bucharest parents are genuinely worried about this aspect.

In an effort to shield their children from the negative consequences of pollution, more and more families are fleeing densely populated urban areas and moving to surrounding towns. However, this doesn't seem to be the winning solution, given that extended commute times bring significant stress, ultimately decreasing the quality of life.

GREENFIELD Băneasa This is the only modern residential complex in Bucharest that is surrounded by over 900 hectares of forest, thus residents enjoy air quality, comparable to that of the mountains, with a recording of much lower pollution level than in other areas of the capital. This is certainly also one of the reasons why the Greenfield complex records a birth rate of 7 times greater than that for the entire Capital and it is the number 1 choice for Bucharest residents who intend to start a family.

The residents here are truly privileged because forest Băneasa not only does it act as a barrier against air pollution, being a priceless source of oxygen, but it also reduces noise pollution, which is so harmful to children and adults. In Greenfield Băneasa there is silence regardless of the time of day, and forest represents the perfect place for a large variety of activities that support the harmonious development of children.

Whether we're talking about walks or bike rides, forest This is the ideal place to get some exercise outdoors, no matter the season. Furthermore, the forest offers a true spectacle of color and music with its multitude of tree, plant, and bird species. A child who has the opportunity to explore the forest directly by touching tree bark and the moss growing on them, who can gather leaves to admire their diversity of shapes and colors, will be able to connect more easily with nature and with themselves by listening to the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong.

Those heading towards GREENFIELD Băneasa are usually Bucharest residents who have understood that for harmonious development, their families do not just need one safe housing and comfortable at interior, as well as the surrounding environment to support the healthy and balanced lifestyle they desire. It's about that home wellbeing, a concept that formed the basis of how the GREENFIELD neighborhood was conceived and designed from the outset, a concept based on: respect for the environment and the natural characteristics of the area, the choice of sustainable development solutions that pollute as little as possible, involvement community in environmental protection and conservation activities, the creation of common spaces and facilities that support an active and healthy lifestyle for adults and children as much as possible.

Therefore, although long-term solutions for limiting pollution depend on macro-level decisions by authorities and include: reducing dependence on fossil fuels, investing in improving energy efficiency, facilitating the adoption of renewable energy sources, or better management of toxic waste, individual efforts by parents to shield their children from pollution can still make a difference and significantly influence children's development.
