In many towns around the world there are dense concentrations of pavements, sidewalks, buildings and other surfaces paved with asphalt that absorbs and retains heat.
Most of the available soil in the urban environment is buried under asphalt and concrete and any minimally available bare soil is compacted by foot traffic. That's why the green areas in the photos are fenced.
Adding shrub and trees to the urban environment offers ecological value and reminds us regionally typical vegetation.
This is our life in the 21st century! Ciao Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteIt is not too late.
Delete...trees make life livable.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I agree on this.
DeleteIt looks pretty warm there
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
DeleteMore parks, lawns and trees make a city more livable. Because temperatures are rising.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a wonderful weekend!
Gked to see there is more awareness about the importance of green spaces in the urban environment.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. I would love to take pictures in them (I took some pictures in my aunt's garden today :) )! In my city this year they are supposed to do a renovation of the city center (now there is a lot of greenery, there are trees too).
ReplyDeleteGiorgio, my good friend I wish you a good Sunday!
Thank you my dear friend! Happy Sunday to you too.
DeleteThe landscape there is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the appreciation, Nicole!
DeleteCities around the world need to add green space - and quickly. And porous sidewalks would be helpful too.
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Porous sidewalk allows water to infiltrate into the subsoil.
DeleteI agree with David and I think that more trees and less political decision about green houses and electric cars, could be the right solution to fight pollution and the climate changes
ReplyDeleteTrue, policy-makers are not focused on this topic as they should be.
DeleteTrees not only cool and clean the air but also fight the urban heat island effect.
ReplyDeleteCities globally should increase their green spaces.
Happy Tuesday, Giorgio!
I agree on this! Local administrations should increase green areas in their towns.
DeleteBeing around greenery, trees etc is so beneficial for our mental health and wellbeing. I am fortunate to live in a very nice green area but many do not. Towns and cities should be encouraged to add green space.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased the olive trees are blooming.
Enjoy these last few days of May.
All the best Jan
Bello jardín. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeletePerfect nature :D
ReplyDeleteAny bit of greenery, any hint of nature added to a city is very worthwhile, and I hope all urban centres around the world plan accordingly.
ReplyDeleteGenial semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGiorgio, my friend, I'm really, really sorry that the Italians lost today... :(
ReplyDeleteI dreamed that the Italians would play in the final of the European Championships. I wanted it very much!!!
