I prefer macro-forests. You know ones you can actually walk in without seeing the other side or hearing traffic. But every little bit helps I guess.
I saw somewhere this same technique had been adopted in England too. Sounds cool.
Not many people reading article eh?
It’s not trees in Japanese urban cities (they keep getting cut yikes) but ones planted using Japanese botanist method. It plants native and climate appropriate species to grow climax community on the go in packed manner. In theory, once established ‘the forests’ have stable ecosystem and don’t need external intervention. The theory now considered working, though the timespan to see if it truly works is centuries, and has been adopted over south Asia, east Asia and Europe.
Lived in Japan for more than 2 decades. Never saw one.
Japanese cities have a surprising lack of green tbh.
Goddamn it the Japanese are becoming wood elves.
