The Impact
Loss of green space and clogged roads make for a sick city
The roads in our city are getting congested. Air pollution in cities is making people sick. The more roads we have the less green space we have. We have been hearing about the Urban Heat Effect where our cities are getting hotter because we have too many roads, too many carparks and not enough trees to cool the city.
The Solution
Bikes, bike paths + energy efficient transport = healthy people and a healthy planet
Our Millennium Kids teams are looking for innovative solutions to these problems. We have been researching what other countries are doing. Cities are designing bike paths so people can ride to work. Some cities are taking out cars and making their city centres car free and pedestrian friendly.
