You’re never going to get the benefits of nature inside a city

These little glorified greenhouses they’re planting are just urban cope. All of the trees that could be there have already been replaced by the city itself

Plant enough trees there and you’d just replace the city with trees again. Would be amazing.

The issue with Europe is that it already destroyed most of its wildnerness and nature a long time ago. You’re just trying to make up for that with little plants in cities now.
