From Guantánamo to Sponge City – this is how urban trees can survive with the Stockholm method, and how we can survive too

In Budapest, urban trees face severe challenges due to climate change, with many failing to survive past five years. The Stockholm tree planting method offers a solution by expanding root space and improving soil conditions, allowing trees to thrive despite harsh urban environments. This method has been successfully implemented in various locations across the city, promoting climate resilience. Local regulations encourage developers to adopt this approach, making it more cost-effective to plant trees rather than pay fines for removal. The SFR mimics natural growth patterns, ensuring trees can adapt and survive in urban settings.
