The Housing Board said it is ramping up efforts to provide more integrated foliage and greenery as part of efforts to create a liveable and sustainable environment for residents.

Calculating leaf area takes into account not just the number of plants, but also weighs factors such as trees' canopy sizes, how leafy they are and how closely they are planted. Dawson estate, envisioned to be"Housing in a Park", will have more than 4,300 new trees from over 70 species. Half of these have already been planted in the four completed housing projects - SkyTerrace @ Dawson, SkyVille @ Dawson, Dawson Vista and Forfar Heights.When completed this year, the Dawson estate will have a park-like environment with all seven housing projects connected in a series of green spaces and pathways.
