We’ve recently planted hundreds of native trees along the phase two beach as the first step towards creating its beach boulevard. The trees include dhiggaa, funa, kaani, hirundhu, midhili and kinbi, species that belong to our environment and will one day provide much needed shade and greenery.
These trees should have been planted 13 years ago when the land was first reclaimed. But the next best time is now.
Over the coming months, I want to dedicate most of my time to developing these public spaces for the hundreds of thousands of people who will soon call phase two home. As high density residential towers rise across the area, these parks and beachfront spaces will become places where people can breathe, relax, slow down, spend time with family and friends and take a break from the mental toll of dense urban living. #WithHDC
