Urban Green Spaces
Introduction
Urban areas, while centers of commerce and culture, often suffer from a lack of green spaces.
This deficiency impacts resident well-being, air quality, and biodiversity. Project Phoenix aims to
address this issue by revitalizing existing green spaces and creating new ones within city limits.
This document outlines the project's scope, goals, strategies, and anticipated outcomes.
