You have chosen such an important and significant topic for the current edition of the architectural magazine, dear @aplusd! ❤️ It is so important and serious that I automatically asked myself if I had my own materials on it. But no, the only pictures I had (of one park) are already posted here, so I won't "surprise" you with a post this week that follows the theme of the magazine 😄.
I have a lot to say about the greening of cities, after I myself recently discovered something very monstrous - one of the most polluted cities in my country, which was built with the aim of being an industrial hub, is actually known as one of the most green cities here. Well, I won't comment any further. 😌 But if we look into the past, dear @storiesoferne, shall we not say again that people then understood things better than we do now? In every respect. Gardens, a sign of prestige, are an integral part of every castle, every aristocratic building. Was this done unconsciously, or did the people then know very well that garden was crucial part of any building and that it gave the occupants of that building things they needed and that nothing else could provide them?
On the other hand, it's amazing what desert countries and cities make regarding greening nowadays. Don't you think that these countries are the most inventive in this regard and take the best care of nature and its treasures, dear @arkicarls? Just like you, I have also marveled at the utilization of every single area by planting it, traveling through extremely dry and "desert" areas of Spain, for example.
Dear @besamu, it is hard to imagine that one park can accommodate and provide so many activities and different places that Bararida Park provides. This undoubtedly entices people to visit it. Although I wonder if they need this bait. 🙂 We are so deeply and strongly drawn to nature that we do not need many prompts and promises to visit it.
When I saw the theme of the magazine, as well as the cover photo, I said to myself: Singapore - this is totally spot on. I don't know if there is any other country in the world that has achieved so much in every respect in the direction of greening and bringing nature closer to people, dear @cherryng. It has literally worked wonders in this regard. And we, the people of other continents, can only admire and bow before what has been achieved there.
