GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
DRIVING TOWARD A GREENER FUTURE WITH ARBORCHARGE
One question that is on many minds is “ what will our towns and cities look like in the future ”? Well , nobody knows , but one thing is sure – it ’ s going to be different from what we have been used to . There seems to be little doubt that pedestrians and cyclists will have higher priority than they have for the past one hundred years or so , and that issues such as air quality and the heat island effect of our concrete jungles will remain high on the agenda .
As a general rule , authorities are looking to implement sustainable drainage systems , pollution-free travel , reduction of temperatures in urban areas , improved air quality and other environmental interventions which will improve the quality of life for residents .
The GreenBlue Urban ArborSystem with Arborflow and ArborCharge . The new package ticks all the boxes , and what is so unique is that the tree that is central , guaranteed to grow to species potential size and age , year after year to bring the huge benefits that only a healthy tree can provide . The Arborflow module attenuates and cleanses stormwater , reducing pressure on the limited drainage networks , and irrigating and feeding the tree .
The new ArborCharge option adds the ability to include electric car charging ! Whilst excavating the tree pit you can now identify and join into an electrical supply to supply the charging units .
Trees bring so many advantages to humanity ; as we begin to adapt to the changes in our global climates we need to make the small steps fast , to bring the big changes soon .
