Promote urban biodiversity, <\/b>by integrating green spaces and trees into urban planning. Make sure green spaces are properly and evenly located and distributed in the city, and allow access to all citizens and residents in a safe manner. These measures will help improve air quality, reduce urban heat islands, and improve the health of inhabitants and the liveability of our cities.<\/span><\/p>

Create opportunities for the increase of urban microfarming<\/b> and the inclusion of surrounding rural areas, as a means to promote food security and enhance the social and environmental benefits of local farming.<\/span><\/p>
