This trend to deplete urban green space, the lungs of our cities, in an era of global warming and population increase, is dangerous for our health and for our quality of life. We urgently need legislation at a European level to protect all urban green space.

Green Hour is a great program. And I think you're right - its almost impossible to imagine Manhattan without Central Park. Anne – Thanks for mentioning the NatureFind feature.

Cities are diverse, so I guess it makes sense that a city park should be diverse also.
