This is a debate that has been going on for a long time and it is the possibility of
opening the metro on weekends at night. It would be important to know if it is a positive
measure or too expensive for what it reports to the city.
We do not need too
high a frequency, but we do not need more than 20 minutes, because if we had to change
trains, it would drive many people back. It would be interesting,
if someone
knows a little more about the subject, to know the cons that this would have, because I
believe that currently, there is no metro in the world that is open at night, so I do not
think it is an easy task.
Over the last couple of years, the weight of rents has increased dramatically, although
the number of tourists walking around the city has also increased.
It is
sometimes proposed that not only is there a correlation, but that the type of tourist
rental is the root cause of the former. But it is difficult to find data to prove the
claim.
Does anyone have sufficiently comprehensive sources of information on
this issue to resolve it?
One of the most powerful CO2 sinks and pollution filter are forests and trees.
Surrounding ourselves with autochthonous vegetation by taking advantage of the margins and
slopes of the ring roads would be a good way to counteract the emissions produced on these
roads. It would give more environmental quality to the city and mitigate heat waves,
landscape restoration, among other benefits.
However, there are people who
think that this is too expensive and it would be better to look for other ways to reduce
pollution. What do you think?
The streets and squares of the city have become hard: only cement, without fountains,
benches or shadows. It is supposed to facilitate maintenance, but in reality the only
important impact is the increase in consumption in large establishments by seeking refuge
in them and the use of public spaces with terraces, promotional events,
etc...
How could we solve this question? Do you think it benefits the
city?
For example, it occurs to me that it would be good to create a
network of drinking water fountains and install more benches and shadows in all the
streets and squares. This would stimulate sport, pedestrianism and social
exchange.
Glad to answer your questions about city pollution.
