Make New York Green - Expand New York's Parks and Open Spaces
Sponsored by: Campaign for New York's FutureNew York City residents have fewer acres of green space per person than almost any other city in the country. In some neighborhoods, 12,000 children or more can share as few as three playgrounds.
PlaNYC, a plan to improve the city's environment and build a sustainable future, will include seven initiatives to increase open space and improve public health in New York City.
These plans include making existing parks and recreational sites more available to New Yorkers, expanding usable hours at existing facilities, and expanding the city's tree canopy cover from 24 to 30 percent by 2030.
These plans and others will promote increased property values, calm traffic and increase the health and quality of life for all New Yorkers, as it would provide at least 1.5 acres of park space for every 1000 people.

San Francisco has more parks than any other city, and the people there look very happy. No wonder people in NYC have those miserable, ugly-looking faces! Green spaces make people smile, look less angry and scary.

Not only is it healthy for us to defray the polution, noise, craziness of metropolis living, but it also gives a place for nature to come back to which is sorely needed. Adds beauty and gives people a better sense of caring and appreciation.

New York's population density is among the highest in the world. Slums, social disintegration are all inevitable due to this
