Our friends at Local Ecologist add our Tulip Tree Alleé to the list of alleés from around the world that they have covered. Who knew there was an alleé beat out there? ~AR

Calling these protest plantings in Madrid “ecosystems” is going a step too far (as is calling the cake protectors covering them “greenhouses”), but the impetus behind their installation is noble: To protest a lack of greens paces in the city’s center.

What you see above is the plan for the 66-acre Parque Central in Valenica, Spain’s third-largest city. The park is being built in conjunction with urban redevelopment brought about by the country’s heavy investment in high-speed rail. Rather than just using it as an opportunity to put up more buildings, Valencia is giving its residents 23 hectares of gardens and open spaces. Bravo!
