Greenstreets Drexel University researchers investigate urban ecosystem improvements

The video discusses the evolution of green streets in New York City, focusing on their role in storm water management and urban greening. It highlights the collaboration with Drexel University to evaluate the effectiveness of these designs. The benefits of urban greening, such as reducing the urban heat island effect and air pollution, are explored. The research methodologies, including the use of wing lysimeters and soil moisture sensors, are detailed. Finally, the video considers how these efforts can shape the future of urban ecosystems.
