Going Green


Urban greening, from green roofs to grass aimed to help with drainage systems, is all in an effort to make cities more green not just by including more of the colour but also making them more eco-friendly. This has become more prominent in cities as countries and their population become for environmentally aware. The numerous health benefits supplied by green spaces both direct and indirect are also motivating factors for planners to include them in their designs. Research from various institutions has found that greening results in a happier working population and contributes to reduced stress and depression and thus raises the productivity of workers. Job creation may also be considered in the pros of having green areas. Jobs in maintenance of these areas may provide a source of income for lower classes.
