CREATING URBAN JUNGLES WITH CITYGREEN
13 Dec 2022
Australia's changing climate represents a significant challenge to individuals, communities, governments, businesses, industry, and the environment. Australia has already experienced increases in average temperatures over the past 60 years, with more frequent hot weather, fewer cold days, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels.
But, by making small changes all over the world we can slow down the impacts of past generations and build a greener and healthier future.
By working with other professionals in the urban forestry sector, Citygreen actively contributes to a world where sustainable green space is within reach of every person, every day. Over the last two decades, Citygreen has worked with global research and distribution partners across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Europe, the UK, the USA, and Canada to find the most viable solution for overcoming premature mortality in urban trees. 
The company see urban forestry planning and management as a critical part of urban infrastructure, focusing on creating products that utilise the most of scarce resources with the least amount of waste, without compromising the results. Sustainability has been in Citygreen’s DNA since consciously deciding to make its very first product using 100 percent recyclable plastic, over 2 decades ago.
Of course, it is not just about the physical waste we see. As well as combatting air pollution, trees have a role in combatting the negative impact of noise pollution. A major effect of urbanisation, transport, and industrialisation, noise is not just annoying for humans – it can have a devastating effect on wildlife. 
The foliage of trees has a muffling effect, diminishing the level of sound that reaches it and beyond. By ensuring the growth of urban trees, it not only provide additional habitat for local wildlife, but also provides a sound barrier for homes and businesses within an area.
In addition, urban forestry works to lessen the effects of light pollution, encouraging the normal ebb and flow of the day/night routine for some animals along with those of our population that are shift workers.
All in all, newly planted trees have helped reduce the effect of pollution all over the world. There truly are so many reasons why trees matter, and why they are awesome. And why we should be looking to protect them.
The challenge, however, is rooted in the fact that trees find it hard to survive in dense cities. Often, the natural development is hindered by the lack of space for growth. In some cases, the root systems cause damage to the surrounding infrastructure affecting the tree and the structures around it. 
Citygreen is committed to solving these concerns. With its total urban landscape solutions founded by comprehensive research, Citygreen aim to transform grey spaces into green – allowing trees to live harmoniously with the advancements of our cities.
Above all, Citygreen focus on results. It’s all about what adds value to the urban environment, the company is passionate about creating cooler, sustainable, and more liveable cities not only for ourselves but for future generations.
