Key Findings from the Interview
recent experience of visiting an urban green area in NYC: visited Washington square park, there were people of all ages (a lot of students, ppl playing skateboarding, etc.), very open park with lots of trees
some experiences related to urban greening projects like green roofs, vertical gardens, or living walls: 1. A school campus, a high school in Hangzhou, China, that has moss growing on the wall 2. See trees growing on residential buildings in NYC 3. in Parsons, a lab called healthy material lab (e.g. lecture on using algae to replace for plastic)
urban greening projects & reflections in NYC: When looking at them, feel more at peace, think more buildings should adopt this kind of eco friendly projects
major differences between novel projects like green roofs and conventional parks: 1. Less accessible than conventional parks, but good use of land; parks invites more ppl in, would actually prefer parks over rooftop gardens.
any expectations that haven’t been met by the urban greening projects: Energy preservation—> the current projects and buildings and parks can be more green through perhaps adopting (solar panels and other clean energy…)
