GuideWelcome to Greenford, our new eco-district. As we walk, I'll point out five features that make a city greener.
GuideLook up at the living wall on the town hall. Covered in plants, its main job is that it cleans the air with plants.
GuideBeside us is the wildflower verge. It may look untidy, but it gives bees and butterflies a home in the heart of the city.
GuideNow notice the rain garden, this shallow dip full of reeds. In a storm, it soaks up heavy rain that would flood the road.
GuideAhead are the avenue trees. More than decoration, they cool the streets in summer by casting deep shade.
GuideAnd on the rooftops there, the community garden grows food for local people, who share the harvest.
