advantages
Studies show that park use can lower the risk of stress, obesity, respiratory problems, cancer, and diabetes
safer active-mobility options, expanding access to opportunity in under served neighbourhoods, converting vacant or underused land for public use, and developing greater climate resilience
Increased exposure to green space has also been linked to higher cognitive abilities, reductions in aggressive behaviours, and a stronger sense of community
Trees absorb pollution, producing billions of dollars in savings from cleaner air; their shade helps reduce the heat island effect by lowering urban temperatures.
Waterways and water bodies in gardens and parks will also be made more natural “to protect against sea-level rise and flooding.by building parks it reduces amount of floods or water level of floods which reduces amount of damage to properties thus requiring lesser money to compensate or use
More job opportunities,building more parks would mean more jobs for people and the more parks they build they more tourist they would have and thus increasing economy
the zoning has led to the redevelopment of industrial sites into multiple parks that provide public access and build climate resilience
After 18 months without cutting, its surface temperature was 4 degrees Celsius lower than surrounding lawns.
Less frequent grass-cutting can reduce petrol-intensive transport of landscape workers and the use of powered mowers and blowers, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Decreasing the man-hours currently spent on mowing, cultivating, transplanting and fertilising would also cut costs and save resources.
