Cockburn, WA turns a car park into a pop-up forest with Greening Greenslade project

Cockburn, WA Greening Greenslade Project Forest

An 880 square meter lot in Hamilton Hill was turned into an urban forest for a 12-week demonstration. Greening Greenslade reduced the urban heat island effect in the area and provided shade for pedestrians. Council officials organized a Demonstration Day to encourage exploration of the space by local residents. Cockburn developed the pop-up forest concept with The Forever Project and Urban Impact Project as part of its Urban Forest Plan.
