Belfast is to undergo an important environmental trial involving analysis of 44 normal trees compared to a special 'city tree'.
READ MORE: Stormont department "dragging their feet" over road crossing despite risk to school children Belfast City Council was successful in a bid of €204,250/£176,024 funding to further an integrated approach between urban planning, achieving net zero and aspects of resilience. The third part of the programme involves a cost benefit exercise on the planting and maintenance of 44 trees in the air quality management area of Cromac Street in comparison to the installation of a city tree.
“How do we manage and maintain green infrastructure going forward for Belfast? How do we build it into our public realm and who pays for that? These are bigger questions we are digging into. It will be a cost benefit analysis of a city tree versus 44 trees, what is the maintenance and lifetime cost .”
“We have a tree strategy, and tree equity is a big part of that. My fear is we will do this instead of actually giving people trees in those areas where they don’t have them. Working class areas for example.
