Hello All,
have you ever been in Barcelona?
Well, in few years it could be a complete different city!
Accordingly to a recent article posted on the 7th of August, Barcelona is aiming to double the number of the trees in the city.
Barcellona is the second most popular city in Spain and during the heats of summer days the temperatures in of the urban area get really high, at time even seven degrees warmer than the outskirts of the city center. The reason of this difference can reside on the fact that the areas outside the city are surrounded by parks which are determinant in ventilate, cool down and contrast the temperature raising.
This is the area that will be involved in the transformation of the Barcelona.
By 2019 the equivalent of an hundred football fields will be transformed in green areas and by the 2030 the aim is to achieve 165 hectares. The project includes green rooftops and green corridors.
The leaders of this plan affirm: "The objective of this project is to transform Barcelona into a gigantic urban forest and to stimulate biodiversity in all its streets." <https://detours.canalplus.fr/lutter-contre-chaleur-barcelone-veut-devenir-foret-geante/>. Nowadays this city has only 17% of green spaces and this project will aim to create at least one square meter of green spaces per person.
Transforming an urban city into a green city is a super exciting idea and I cannot wait to go Barcelona again and enjoy this transformation.
