More green wouldn’t hurt. The city I live in invested heavily in removing green space. Shrubs and plants are nearly all removed and the remaining empty grass fields are continuously cut. Having green space cools the city down, gives shade and helps animals, so how about we plant things and stop cutting everything?

In the USA, we cover everything we can with black asphalt, and those expansive parking lots means you can’t walk anywhere.
The interesting question for the US is “can we be doing anÿhing to make things worse than we already are?”
