City’s 262 green spaces provide cooling effects 347 metres beyond their physical boundary
Green cover, even in the heart of a dense city, can serve as nature’s very own eco-friendly and effective air-conditioners. In Bengaluru, urban green spaces (UGS) are on an average 2.23 degree Celsius cooler than surrounding areas. Not only that, the average UGS provided local cooling effects 347 metres beyond its boundary.
These were some of the key findings of a recently published study conducted by a team from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar.
