@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...

  1. Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
  2. There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
  3. Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt & pretty much everything doesn't require maintenance?
  4. Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too!

@Andres4NY @ECEC trees harm car is actually a feature, the drivers will slow down in roads with trees borders

Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides

Dendrocnide moroides, commonly known in Australia as the stinging tree, stinging bush, or gympie-gympie, is a plant in the nettle family Urticaceae found in rainforest areas of Malesia and Australia.[3] It is notorious for its extremely painful and long-lasting sting.

Depends on the tree.

Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don't touch them and don't know what they are.

Blessed relief from the spider venom , jellyfish stings, croc bites.

There's plenty of room for trees in new dense places, sure. But if you're in the parts of London with old ass-narrow ass-streets, this may be less true.

London is the perfect place for some futuristic cyberpunk distopia !

The rest of the world (except some highly polluting countries who anyway doesn't give a shit about the environment...) can keep the trees&bees and build arround it ! :)

trees are great, this algae tank is just likely more efficient at producing oxygen
