A Green Space Revolution in Paris
How do you create green spaces in the middle of a city, where there\u2019s no space to create large-scale parks or gardens? Paris has come up with a clever solution \u2013 they allow anyone to apply for a permit to start a garden anywhere at all. A rich assortment of small projects has sprung up, ranging from plant pots around lamp posts, to rejuvenated church squares, to walls covered with ivy. It\u2019s a piecemeal approach to making the city greener, but it\u2019s one that seems to be working.
This week on World Hacks we visit this and two other projects that are trying to improve our experience of urban public spaces. As well as Paris\u2019 citizen gardeners, we\u2019ll hear from joggers in India who are ridding their streets of litter and commuters in London who are making a small but crucial change to the way they get to work.
