Shahzad Qureshi & his Urban Forest.

Shahzad Qureshi discussing his project.

Shahzad Qureshi wants to create Pakistan’s first urban forest, which will employ the Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki’s method of planting trees. Within this method, different types of trees are planted close together in a small pit, which allows them to grow ten times faster than usual. Qureshi talks with nostalgia about the native parrots he used to see while growing up, which have almost disappeared due to deforestation. He laments that kids today have no knowledge of our native tree species, or any awareness about the problems of our over populated city. He calls Central Park the lungs of the bustling metropolitan of New York City, and insists that our city needs lungs too
