A pilot study by Macquarie University’s Centre for Smart Green Cities aims to empower councils to plant trees in typically hot and dusty industrial areas so they are more resilient to climate change.
Tree planting has started in an industrial area of Sydney’s inner west to determine which species will be more resilient to climate change and assess how trees can help reduce local temperatures and particulate pollution.
New beginning: Ross Galletis of Madhouse Bakehouse digs in to plant the project’s first tree in Strathfield’s industrial precinct, with (from left) Steve Hartley of the DPIE, Strathfield Mayor Antoine Doueihi, Macquarie University’s Alessandro Ossola, Deputy Mayor Karen Pensabene, Cr Maryanne Duggan and Smart Green Cities’ Leigh Staas.
