Be wary of formalism and formalism in urban greening | problems | urban greening
Following the trend of introducing "internet famous" tree species, blindly pursuing "flowers in all seasons", focusing solely on aesthetics and neglecting practicality, and repeatedly tinkering with "cutting and planting"... Currently, some formalistic problems in urban greening, such as competing to follow the trend and seeking foreign things, have been criticized by the public. These erroneous practices not only damage the ecology, but also cause huge waste, and are often prone to corruption, which must be corrected in a timely manner.
Greening is a concrete action to improve people's well-being. In recent years, ecological awareness has been continuously enhanced in various regions, and efforts have been made to increase greening efforts, making all areas suitable for urban greening green, bringing visible, tangible, and tangible ecological benefits to the people. However, there have also been some negative phenomena in urban greening, such as large trees entering the city, cutting down local suitable tree species and planting "foreign" and "expensive" trees. Some of these are old problems that cannot be stopped, while others are new situations where mutations occur.
The reason for these problems may appear to be due to a lack of adaptability assessment for introduced tree species, a lack of planning for urban greening, and a neglect of urban biodiversity requirements... The reasons are diverse and varied, but fundamentally, there are still some areas where the performance view of greening is problematic. Either eager for quick success or extravagant but not practical, without considering the actual needs of the people and the ecological foundation of the city for greening.
Urban greening must adhere to scientific greening, planning guidance, and adapting to local conditions, taking a scientific, ecological, and frugal approach, focusing on beautifying the environment and providing the public with a comfortable living experience. On the one hand, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the local climate, soil quality, water resources, etc., and choose more locally suitable tree species from a practical perspective to create a "green aesthetics" that is suitable for local development and integrates with local culture; On the other hand, it is necessary to follow ecological laws, correct excessive landscaping thinking in greening, and develop professional plans for urban green space construction systems that are parallel to urban spatial planning. This not only focuses on the quantity of greening but also on the quality of greening, continuously improving the quality and stability of the urban ecosystem.
A good ecological environment is the most equitable public good and the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods. We must firmly avoid formalism in urban greening and scientifically answer questions such as "where is green", "what green is used", and "how to green", in order to enable the people to have more sense of gain and happiness in a beautiful ecological environment.
