GREEN CITY

If we can't even plant trees like the above and maintain pots of flowers on the roadside,we can forget about having Green Cities.The government departments had great time and fun preparing strategy and policy papers but nothing much is implemented for the benefits of city dwellers.Our built environment are at the mercy of property developers whose only interest is to maximise return on their land bank with the support of city halls or town halls.In CBD of KL,more and more office towers and condominiums are constructed.There will a time,the traffic will become grid-locked.

When are going to have Green Cities in Malaysia?Most likely is not happening  during my life time.May be when my grand children get married in 25 years time.

All the photos shown were taken in Bangi.Someone did a good landscaping work some 25 years ago for two roads but too little to create the impact for green city.The worst part,no one continued adding more trees.The authorities could not even do proper trees maintenance!Similary,Taman Tasik Cempaka was designed and constructed very well but now it is getting worse.

I don't have much time left to enjoy the Green City,but at least give us more liveable city.That is why I spend my time more in Putrajaya-the best city in the garden with its own wetland.If I have enough money,I will move to Putrajaya.
