The world is very busy in creating many places as Metropolitan city. Which places can be called Metropolitan city? The place with high density of population, GDP growth rate, political hub, larger infrastructure ,as well as low agricultural production, insufficient plants and trees, high pollution, and huge environment problems.

The cornerstone of this article is to mention the importance of plantation in metropolitan city and I am mainly focusing on the city Bengaluru. This report is on the basis of study made from the Aahwahan foundation, Bengaluru as a part of the project Tree plantation drive on various towns in Bengaluru. So the report highlights how the city can transform into Green.

In India, there were 46 metropolitan cities. Bengaluru is one of the top 10 fastest growing cities in India. It is an incredible city and is also known for its park and night life. The city is a fine mix of work and leisure. Benguluru has a power to attract the people from various parts and the city can be a traveler’s delight.

Apart from the above mentioned worthwhile surroundings of Bengaluru, the other gloomy side was many like, population explosion, pollution and huge environment problems. The miserable part was that, Bengaluru is the second in the list of most polluted cities in India as far as Air pollution is concerned more. The people are facing difficulty in breathing fresh oxygen and it can be lead to long term health diseases to people. Insufficient trees and plants can cause many environment problems like climatic change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding and it increase the toxic gases present in the air.

How the cities can overcome this threatening issue?
            Plantation in city is an appropriate technique to bring changes or to reduce many environmental problems. The importance of plantation in Metropolitan city is many like:

  1. To improve the quality of air in public spaces.
  2. Trees and plants reduce the amount of toxic gases present in the air.
  3. It helps to reduce climatic problems.
  4. It gives attraction to the city by making greenery.
  5. It increases the environmental quality.
  6. It will maintain the ecosystem.
The most important part is the people can breathe better oxygen, so that they can lead to a healthy life. It is highly necessary to bring back the green cover in the heart of Bengaluru. The plantation can do in Home, office cabin, concrete wall and also in public places. The main thing to focus is not to involve any chemicals or any inorganic substances for the plantation. The plantation using recycled products help in absorbing the impure particles and gases present in the atmosphere.

Thus the plantation in cities can help to overcome the lack of green spaces in the urban area and help to improve the bio diversity and more than that it will improve the quality of life. “Man doesn’t plant a tree for himself, He plants it for Posterity”. Let’s the city breathe better oxygen by walking towards Green.
