Facing Climate Change: Urban Gardening and Sustainable …

2. It is preferable to be specially planted trees in the middle of the islands with high
legs and fork high so as not to hinder the movement of pedestrians or cars
3. Do not grow large trees at the intersection of roads or at the top of the islands in
the streets so as not to impede the path of sight of drivers, noting that leave at
least 30–50 m around the road crossings without planting trees or large plants
4. This area can be cultivated with low-altitude grass plants and soil coverings
5. It is preferable to cultivate medium-sized islands using high-growth plants that
are highly efficient in absorbing pollutants and low in water and contribute to
heat reduction (Fig. 8)
6. It is enough to plant hedges or soil reservoirs with a height of not more than
50 cm for the roads that are being constructed and to re-examine the previously
created roads and remove trees obstructing the vision.
16.2 Main Steps for Afforestation Within Cities
1. Determine the objective of agriculture.
2. Determine the location of agriculture Is it a street or a middle island.
3. Is the chosen location close to industrial areas?
4. Determine the appropriate plant quality according to the pollution intensity and
temperature.
5. Implementation of the process of agriculture according to sound scientific basis
and according to the type and nature of plant growth.
16.3 The Roles or Foundations of Afforestation
for Environmental Conditions
A common mistake is to cultivate any plant species before they are studied, especially
for important traits such as tolerant type of pollutants, CO 2 absorption efficiency, high
heat reduction, drought tolerance and high salinity tolerance.
Existing trees should be reviewed according to recent scientific information related
to the efficiency of CO 2 absorption and heat reduction. It may be necessary to change
trees or other types of plants because of their lack of success and performance of
their local environmental functions or contain a toxic substance or contain some
undesirable qualities.
