Then, the Jewish National Fund terraformed the soil and planted trees... that's how the Jerusalem Forest came to be. Some current issues include...

Hence, roads take up a lot of space, cars make the city less pleasant, traffic increases in the medium to long-term, and natural areas (created less than a century ago) are reduced in size. -> Not all is lost. The Jerusalem Forest is still huge and, if the government and municipality start taking it seriously, we'll still have all this beauty! Speaking of which, Jerusalem should improve its architecture and improve the quality of Jerusalem Stone that is used in all projects. There have also been a few buildings that were built with glass instead of golden stone because the municipality gave them an exemption from the law that all buildings must be built of Jerusalem Stone... not okay.
Blessed Jerusalem 💛🕊️🌿
Thank you for showing 🙋
Always interesting and a great pleasure to see an ecologically devestated area, the rocky Judean Mountains of Jerusalem becoming a green livable city!
why is it an ecologically devastated area?
huh? The Judean mountains were always green
