Finland boasts an extensive amount of forested land, covering two-thirds of the country. While it may seem that most people, around 85%, live in urban areas, Finnish cities masterfully incorporate green space, assigning 30-40% of their area to parks and nature reserves. This balance between urban life and nature plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall happiness of its residents.
