The idea
Creating more green spaces and planting more trees around the Chinatown neighborhood to clean the air that is polluting its residents.
Who it helps and why
Chinatown is one of the neighborhoods with the poorest air quality, which is a great concern for its residents. Planting trees and implementing more green spaces not only clean the air that is being polluted by highways surrounding the neighborhood, but also counters the heat island effect, and provides a space where residents in the community can more safely be outside.
