The Trees of Mexico City: Guardians of Their Image and of the Environment

Abstract

The World Health Organization specifies that there should be 12 square meters of green space for every person. From that perspective, Mexico City requires 90 million square meters of green space to meet this requirement. An alternate solution is to be able to achieve a robust
tree-planting program through sustainable design practices by landscape designers and through the implementation of public policies for their proper upkeep. Understanding the current state of the woods in the city is also necessary to properly administer this resource.
