Clean Air Gardens
This short animation highlights a RECLAIM Network Plus funded project undertaken by the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of East London to investigate the impact of domestic gardens on local air quality and temperatures. With a focus on disenfranchised areas across London, the team examined three types of garden barriers, namely vegetated barriers, fenced barriers, and open gardens.
