Via Verde project in Mexico City (citizen-led)
Have you seen this? Even just looking at this image makes me feel calm! I'd love to drive on a highway like this - imagine if Toronto did this to their highway downtown!
Great facts about the project:
- 40,000 meters of roadways and concrete pillars will be covered
- will fight pollution, beautify the city and decrease stress levels of motorists
- the green walls will generate oxygen, absorb pollutants and moderate traffic noise
- an automated irrigation system supplied by rainwater will be used
- the project is being funded by private donors, government and advertisers
