"The Urban Tree— Lost in Concrete?" discussion at Main Building, IIC, Lodhi Estate > 6:30pm on 25th November 2010
Time : 6:30 pm
Event Details : Environment and Health Public Lecture Series 'The Urban Tree— Lost in Concrete?'
‘If you are determined you can find a wilderness close to you, no matter where you live.’
(Ruskin Bond)
The tree has great significance in our lives. But the loss of this identity has its origin within the heroic nature of architecture and its stipulated growth especially in urban areas.
The plausibility of making an honest inclusion of trees in the urban spaces is the need of the time for the sustainability of resources.
The entire 7,777-hectare of protected area in the Delhi Ridge is facing acute danger from all corners in the name of urbanization and construction. Its therefore an appropriate time to discuss what measures can be taken both individually and collectively to protect these urban trees which have more purpose than one, by looking at the magnitude of the situation not only from the purview of Delhi but also with a coincidental analysis of the situation in Bangalore.
