Redesigning India’s Urban Forests: The Missing Nature Network

Indian cities may have parks, lakes, tree-lined roads and occasional urban forests. But when these remain isolated, they cannot cool neighbourhoods, support biodiversity or make daily life healthier for citizens. This episode introduces the Nature Network: a connected system of parks, lakes, street trees, campuses, wetlands and shaded public routes. The goal is not to plant more trees. It is to make nature work as essential city infrastructure—for people, birds, pollinators, water and climate resilience. #UrbanForests #NatureNetworks #UrbanPlanning #ClimateResilience #BetterIndiaByDesign
