The non-governmental organization (NGO) Green Home has called on the competent institutions to suspend the planned conversion of the green area, located next to the old buildings of the Ministry of the Interior (MUP) at the Old Airport in Podgorica, into a parking area.
"Lack of parking spaces is a chronic problem of the Capital City and must not be solved under any circumstances by destroying and removing the existing, already scarce, green areas," according to the announcement of the NGO Green Home.
As they say, cutting down trees and turning a green area into a parking lot due to poor spatial planning is an unacceptable practice.
They add that "the role that trees and green areas play in the quality of life of tenants" is immeasurable.
"Trees reduce pollution, the impact of noise, protect from the sun, overheating, and wind, regulate air humidity and bring numerous benefits to the quality of life of the entire neighborhood," said the NGO Green Home.
"The designers and all those responsible in the chain who allowed the construction of a residential area with 288 residential units, without a sufficient number of parking spaces and without a single planned tree around the entire building, should bear moral and professional responsibility for this situation, and the competent institutions must not allow solves this problem by cutting down trees and destroying green areas," concluded the NGO Green Home.
