Wanted: Natural Residents

Part1:- Summary



The article is about a green project in Western Harbour, Malmo in Sweden. The place contains bats, birds and insects. The 1300 new apartments were designed from the outset to showcase "green" innovations in waste management, renewable energy and sustainable transport and promoted biodiversity.

10 “green features” from 35 were chosen by each developer to include in their designs as stated by Area Ecologist Annika Kruuse. Many species and birds have already moved in to the Western Harbour. The aim of the developer is to market properties according to green criteria, which is very encouraging.

There is an ecological play school for children nearby, which serves organic food. The hope is that by the time this new generation of children comes of age, they will expect and demand to live in houses designed to promote sustainability and biodiversity. Developers are being asked to install rooftop wind turbines and follow even more stringent rules for encouraging biodiversity.

The first phase of the project is now complete and phases two and three will follow.

Part3:- opinion

The content of the article is very useful especially at this time. And the government must play a role in this subject in order to reduce the green house gases continuously.

It is very good that the cities are developing green projects as these are good for the environment.
