Planting trees in cities is of utmost importance for numerous reasons. Firstly, trees enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of urban areas, contributing to a more pleasant and inviting environment. They provide shade, which is especially crucial in mitigating the heat island effect and reducing energy consumption for cooling purposes. Additionally, trees act as natural air purifiers, absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing clean oxygen, thus improving air quality and promoting healthier living conditions.
