CITYGREEN Issue 15

The Ecology section features Windsor Nature Park which plays the important role of a green buffer and My WaterWay@Punggol, where floating wetland systems and freshwater-tolerant mangroves intensify greenery, enhance water quality and improve biodiversity, creating a sustainable and biophilic environment in a public housing estate. In closing, the expression of landscape aesthetics is explored - Patrick Blanc sees the vertical garden as a demonstration of beauty and Mr. Junichi Inada talks about incorporating the essence of the ‘Japanese sense of beauty’ into the design of green spaces in the tropics.
