Sinopsis

Depaving means getting rid of asphalt, cement and such and allows water to soak into the ground which reduces flooding in times of heavy rain. Once depaved, planting trees and plants helps wildlife cling on in urban spaces and trees protect residents from heatwaves. Greenery in cities is also said to improve people's mental health.
