We support the overall soundness of the plan, particularly its emphasis on protecting and enhancing green infrastructure, promoting sustainable development, and mitigating climate change impacts. The plan's commitment to design-led approaches that prioritize environmental considerations, such as minimizing internal heat gain and improving air quality, aligns with our conservation objectives. Additionally, the plan's focus on creating comfortable and healthy environments for residents through measures like urban greening and passive cooling strategies reflects a proactive approach to enhancing biodiversity and supporting ecosystem services.
