“If you picture the city of the future, think less of smart tech, flying cars and skyscrapers; more of cascading foliage, green roofs, rough meadows, and dense forest.

The tendency in the 21st century will be for cities to go greener, as a form of self defense if nothing else.”

[Boreal Conservation @Borealconserve]

From vast, glistening lakes to the smallest of streams, the Boreal Forest in Canada is home to more surface freshwater than any other ecosystem on the planet. Together, these waters nourish plants, animals, & communities – making the boreal truly a forest of blue. #ForestFacts

Working with local residents on their design and maintenance, Antwerp is piloting tuinstraten (“garden streets”) in five districts across the city.

They improve resiliency (to flooding and heat), liveability and sociability—making these spaces calmer, greener and more beautiful.

The world is just a better place with less space for cars.
