Switching public spending from “grey” projects such as roads and airports, to “ 21 ” schemes such as parks, tree planting and vegetables gardens, would not only 22 the government billions of pounds, improve health, and cut climate emissions(排放物), 23 it would create jobs and make British cities more attractive.
The analysis comes from two groups of government advisers, Natural England and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, and is supported by 24 from other countries. It shows that 25 cuts are made in those areas that add to pollution, waste and ill health, and money is invested 26 in projects that save energy, improve health and reduce waste, the benefits are seen quickly.

Just half of that money would pay for a new park in every local authority. Equally, the £1.28 billion 28 for widening the M25 by a single lane would benefit drivers by perhaps a few seconds a journey, but it would buy and maintain more than 3 million new street trees.
Government figures show that road traffic has increased 25% in the past 15 years, at the same time as obesity and public health costs have soared. Research also shows that in the place where people have direct 29 with the environment via animals, plants or landscapes, they are more 30 to be mentally and physically healthy. Hospital patients with views of trees rather than of brick walls stay in hospitals for far less time.
