Question 3

In an eco-city, plants are utilized to provide shade and beauty. Typically, the plants are ____.

Accepted Answer

Plants in an eco-city should be adapted to the local climate and soils in order to thrive and require less maintenance. This can also help prevent the need for excessive watering or fertilization, which reduces the environmental impact of the city's green spaces. Fast-growing and broadleaf plants may not necessarily be the best choice for every location, and resistance to pests may not be a priority in all cases. Using only endemic plants may limit the variety of species that can be used, and may not necessarily be the most practical approach to landscaping.
