# The Role of Urban Green Spaces

Urban green spaces serve as critical infrastructure

for modern cities, contributing to both ecological

sustainability and public health outcomes. However,

the distribution of these spaces raises questions

about equity and access across demographics.

## Methodology

This study employs a mixed-methods approach,

combining GIS spatial analysis with qualitative

interviews from 12 neighbourhoods|

Coach

What specific equity dimensions are you measuring? Income, race, disability access?

Your methodology mentions 12 neighbourhoods — how were these selected? What criteria ruled others out?

Is "critical infrastructure" your claim or established consensus? Consider citing…

AI made everyone sound the same

Certain punctuation patterns, certain cadences, certain structures. They reveal AI-generated text not because they are wrong, but because they are statistically average. When AI writes for you, it optimises for the most probable next token. The result is prose that is competent, fluent, and utterly generic.

Pattern is identity. The quirks in your writing, the way you structure a sentence, the punctuation you reach for, the rhythm of your paragraphs: these are your fingerprint. Smoothing them out does not make you a better writer. It makes you a less distinctive one.

How Kantoku works

Interrogative coaching

"Have you considered the counterargument?" not "Here's a better sentence." Kantoku's AI reads your writing and asks questions that help you think more clearly, identify gaps, and strengthen your argument. It never suggests text, never inserts fragments, never rewrites your prose.

Markdown & LaTeX native

Write equations, citations, and structured documents in the formats academia already uses. No fighting with a word processor. First-class support for the tools researchers actually need.

Git-based provenance

Every change is tracked. Full version history of your document's evolution. In an era where "did AI write this?" is the wrong question, Kantoku lets you show how your document was written. Essential for academic integrity.
