What is Greenery?

Greenery refers to an abundance of green plants, foliage, or vegetation, typically found in outdoor environments such as parks, gardens, forests, and natural landscapes. It encompasses a variety of plant species, including trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers, and other vegetation that contribute to the visual beautification and environmental quality of the area.

In the context of a city council, incorporating greenery into urban planning efforts is essential for creating sustainable, livable cities. For example, a city council might discuss the merit in integrating green spaces into new development projects to mitigate the urban heat island effect.
