safety (crime), reduce traffic and confusion and thus street accidents, nervous noise, “favorable environment in which to rear children,”“free circulation of air and monopolizing the rays of the sun…”
Specifically, trees improve air quality by absorbing gaseous pollutants through leaf stomata and dissolving water-soluble pollutants onto moist leaf surfaces. Furthermore, tree canopies weaken the urban heat-island effect by reducing air temperature through shading and evapotranspiration. As well as these...
The superblock program aims to reduce car traffic, thereby reducing air pollution levels and promote public spaces with fewer cars in order to foster neighbor interactions. He concludes: “Because of the scope of changes needed, transformational adaptation is a fight involving political ideology, ...
