Rapid urbanization has replaced natural landscapes with concrete infrastructure, leading to reduced green cover, higher temperatures, air pollution and biodiversity loss. The Miyawaki method has emerged as an effective urban greening approach by establishing dense, native mini-forests that replicate natural ecosystems. Unlike conventional tree planting, it promotes rapid growth and develops self-sustaining forests within a few years. These microforests mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and enhance biodiversity by providing habitat for birds, butterflies and beneficial insects. In addition to ecological restoration, they create valuable green spaces that improve community well-being and contribute to the development of healthier, more sustainable and climate-resilient cities.
