In many (inner) cities, green spaces are few and far between as demands for living and office space trump the need for children to play. Today's cartoon by Zach. More cartoons: https://cartoonmovement.com/search?query=&sort=created&order=desc

#DEFRA appears silent so far.

Including more green infrastructure in our urban environments provides co-benefits for mental and physical health and environmental health.

Picture the future: Transitioner Anita Roy shares how a beautiful drawing of TT Wellington’s Forest Garden opened the minds of locals (and council) to amazing possibilities.
“We now have the incredible situation – beyond our wildest dreams – of having 62 acres create a Green Corridor stretching around one whole side of the town.”

It is the #largest #UrbanForest in #Canada at 285 hectares & home to a variety of wildlife, dozens of songbirds & hundreds of plants, some rare.
But it might have ended up looking like any other suburban area in the city, if not for the #StockMarketCrash in 1929.

Are we building harder, hotter cities? The loss of #GreenSpace
“Precious urban green space has dwindled over the past six decades. It’s been replaced by paved roads, car parks and larger buildings on smaller sites. Essentially, existing urban green space is in competition with the demand for more housing.”
