Unfortunately, there is a visible tendency of increasing number of the malls and other centres which are mostly focused on shopping and not so many parks, gardens and sport based spaces. And I genuinely assume that this is a real problem, especially in large cities.
Firstly, I have to highlight that there is already a huge lack of the trees and even not that old plants in the new towns and cities. Which means that if we arrange more public parks and other eco friendly zones we will live in a more healthy region. Also, if we will organize more shopping centres instead of doing something more naturally based, we will definitely only diminish the overall environment. Because even only one not that large mall can ruin the air with its pollution and huge use of the natural products as electricity and water.
Secondly, I need to bring up the social aspect such as the modern walking issue. It’s especially spread among young generation which sadly prefers wandering in the fashionable centers rather than in the public parks. So, perhaps, if there are more gardens and places surrounded with trees teenagers, old individuals and others would go there more often. Because if there is an impressive majority of something it becomes quite popular in a really short period of time.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the bigger amount of public parks and places like that is simply peaceful in its nature. So, even just walking there or sitting on the bench would be really helping and useful for the mental health and overall well-being.
