Please do not implement this proposal which seems to aim at drastically reducing or completely doing away with any greenery. It would be absolute madness in view of climate change resulting in catastrophic flooding and above normal temperatures which are now becoming the norm. Read more

Climate resilience measures do not slow down the building of homes. Perhaps if developers were encouraged to keep these measures in mind they same way that they keep the building code in mind, the approvals would be more expedient. Whats the point of having new homes if they become unlivable?
