By 2050, 68% of the world’s population is projected to live in urban areas, with Asia and Africa driving the global urbanization trend. India almost doubled its urban population in 3 years. This rapid pace of urbanization is going cause increased ecological degradation, and finding a balance between urban and ecological needs will be a critical challenge for cities in the Global South.
In these challenging times, an innovative yet sustainable method of afforestation to grow urban forests has a huge impact on the local community and biodiversity. It helps expand the green cover as well as meet the stipulated plantation target. In view of that, the SwitchON Foundation in collaboration with JMU under land given by KMDA, is planning to inaugurate and set up Miyawaki Urban Forests on EM Bypass on a land 500 Sq Ft wide. The Event will be inaugurated by Ms. Isolde Aust, Deputy Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mr. Sushanta Ghosh, Councillor Ward No. 108 and Chairman Br. Xii, Ms Priyadarshani Hakim, Social Worker and Santanu Patra, Superintending Engineer, KMDA.
The initiative will help in building forests which will help in achieving clean air and build sustainable cities in the future.
