Greening cities is a vital strategy in the face of urbanisation
and climate change. It involves implementing sustainable practices to enhance
the environmental quality of urban areas. By expanding green spaces, planting
trees, and creating urban gardens, cities can mitigate heat islands, improve
air quality, and provide recreational spaces for residents.
Green roofs and walls reduce energy consumption by insulating
buildings and absorbing rainwater, reducing the strain on drainage systems.
Encouraging public transportation, cycling, and walking also reduces carbon
emissions. Furthermore, sustainable urban planning can promote biodiversity,
creating habitats for wildlife. In essence, greening cities is not only
aesthetically pleasing but also a practical approach to fostering healthier,
more sustainable, and resilient urban environments.
