The municipal government has announced that over the next three years it will plant 160, 000 acres of trees around the suburbs, a space which is 90 times larger than the Beijing Olympic Forest Park.
To start, 32,000 acres of trees will be planted this year.
The decision is a quick response to a period of serious air pollution and smog in the city this winter.
According to official statistics, the spaces considered to be green in the city are more than 50%. That's an increase of some10 % from ten years ago thanks to previous planting programs. However, the distribution of green space is unbalanced. While large areas of forests are in mountainous areas, the severely polluted downtown area lacks a sufficient number of trees.
In the densely populated Dongcheng and Xicheng Districts, the total green space is less than 15 %.
The local government says it's impossible to plant a large amount of trees in the city center due to a lack of land. Accordingly, it will forest the space between the 5th and 6th Ring Roads.
