Constructing Urban Forests
A comprehensive green utility system:
Enabling trees to grow and coexist alongside dense urban infrastructure.
Climate-Resilient Urban Environments
Trees are essential for urban spaces – they provide a shaded green canopy, reduce air pollution, and boost biodiversity, all of which help combat global warming and climate change. So why do so many urban areas still struggle with a lack of greenery?
The challenge lies in the cityscape itself. Urban trees require space, as well as access to healthy soil, air and water to thrive. Yet, urban environments often pose tough conditions for trees, with dense underground utilities, impervious asphalt surfaces, and compacted urban soils making it a hostile habitat for trees to grow.
How can we create thriving nature-based, urban forests amidst these challenges?
We need innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions that address these age-old problems and seamlessly integrate into the demanding urban infrastructure through a holistic approach.
