State of Mexico Urban Vegetation Manual, Digi Mart USA News (Metepec, Mexico State): The Government of the State of Mexico, led by Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez, through the Secretariat of Urban Development and Infrastructure (Sedui), has made available to state families and municipal authorities the Urban Vegetation Manual, a guide to improving the urban landscape of the state’s population centers.
Sedui Secretary Carlos Maza Lara explained that the document offers tools for citizens and municipal governments to help improve public spaces and homes. He emphasized that more trees and plants in cities help improve air quality, reduce the effects of climate change, and create pleasant places for community life.
Maza Lara said the manual includes recommendations for incorporating greenery into municipal urban development plans and guides the creation and improvement of parks, plazas, gardens and medians, as well as the recovery of urban spaces. These actions help reduce heat, regulate temperature, and create environments that support people’s physical health and emotional well-being.
The Sedui head added that the benefits of vegetation can also reach homes, so the document includes recommendations for families to create their own urban gardens and make better use of available space, even in small dwellings.
He explained that these gardens can be set up in patios and rooftops to grow vegetables, aromatic and medicinal plants, and traditional species of central Mexico. Community gardens, schools and public spaces can also be used to bring nature closer to daily life and foster neighborhood interaction.
The manual is available at https://sedui.edomex.gob.mx/reglamento-imagen-urbana so that municipalities and residents of the State of Mexico have a tool to help improve their communities and build a green legacy for future generations.
