Trees and green spaces tend to make us feel happier. Who doesn’t enjoy walking or jogging in the park surrounded by lush greenery or looking out of a window at colorful shrubs and plants? We feel less stressed and more restored, thus improving our health. However, Bangkok residents don’t experience nature’s healing properties as much as they should simply because the city doesn’t have enough green.

 

To solve this problem, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has come up with several projects and plans, among them the “15 Minute Pocket Parks” and “a City-Wide Tree Planting” projects being touted by new Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt. This is to ensure that green spaces are more accessible to all urbanites.

 

But much more has to be done if a great green city is to become a reality.
