*Green space is universally acknowledged as an vital component to human and mental health and every development should carry their fair share of the load to ensure urban environments remain green.
*The absence of canopy trees creates a desert effect increasing heat and accelerating wind speeds. There is no relief for residents when adequate green space is bypassed and disastrous when this practice accumulates across an entire district.
*The practice of cash-in-lieu has only contributed to the desertification of downtown cores.
*Canopy trees need open spaces. Without these dedicated spaces evenly distributed throughout the urban core, cities cannot grow trees. This negatively impacts residents and local wildlife.
*Increasingly urban land and subsequent housing is being controlled by corporations and their profits rather than individuals looking to create healthy communities. It remains the responsibility of government to ensure balance and green space is preserved.
*Other community benefits needing funding such as affordable housing are big issues that need a dedicated government response rather than a ‘nickle and dime’ approach by pirating other areas of urban development.
