In Rome <\/strong>, greenery is no longer just a matter of aesthetics or urban decorum. More and more clearly it is becoming a structural lever of environmental policies, with measurable effects on air quality as well. This is demonstrated on the one hand by ARPA Lazio data<\/strong>, and on the other by the new widespread forestation interventions<\/strong> that are redesigning, piece by piece, the capital’s green infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n

In the last few days, two new educational micro-forests were inaugurated in City Hall XIV<\/strong>, on Via Pieralisi, and in City Hall III, at Talenti Park, as part of the“Forest For Rome<\/a>” project. These are a total of twelve modules already implemented in different quadrants of the city, designed to recover unused areas and strengthen the urban ecological network, with a special focus on the areas most exposed to traffic and pollution. <\/p>\n\n
