Singapore made its cities shaded and green

Hot climate is becoming an increasingly serious problem worldwide. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Cities are rapidly heating up, negatively affecting people's health. While many countries are developing projects to create shaded areas, Singapore is leading in this regard.

In this country, covered pedestrian walkways and tree plantations have traditionally been included in the city plan. After independence, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew made expanding shaded areas and increasing greenery a fundamental principle of urban planning.

Currently, Singapore has over 200 kilometers of covered pedestrian walkways. The number of trees has increased tenfold over the past 40 years.

This positively impacts the health and quality of life of the population. According to experts, Singapore's experience shows that with strict planning and active government support, hot climate cities can also be transformed into cool and comfortable places.

Therefore, other countries should also learn from Singapore's experience and strive to make their cities green and comfortable.
