US EditionWhy trees make city people happier
- Two studies published in Sustainable Cities and Society show that trees increase happiness and climate resilience in urban areas.
- These studies stem from the FutureBioCity and GrüneLunge projects, which analyzed how urban green spaces affect microclimate and flood risk.
- Led by Dr. Somidh Saha, the team found that increasing trees by 30% can reduce extreme heat hours by nearly 64% and runoff by 58%.
- Dr. Saha explained that increasing tree coverage and creating varied green areas in urban environments can enhance residents' well-being and help reduce the harmful impacts associated with climate change, such as intense heat waves and severe rainfall events.
- The results imply that designing diverse, natural parks can enhance urban comfort and resilience against increasingly frequent heat waves and rainfall.
