Our Projects

#GreenMyCity is an initiative the Green Cities Foundation started to transform urban spaces by creating and enhancing green areas like parks, gardens, and public spaces. The campaign encourages individuals, communities, businesses, and municipalities to contribute to a healthier urban environment by planting trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. Through this initiative, we promote the idea that urban greenery beautifies cities, improves air quality, cools surroundings, reduces noise, and fosters physical and mental well-being.
