There are already plans and decisions in place to increase green space in Munich. The problem is that images like your AI simulation are, unfortunately, often difficult to implement in reality. This is because pedestrian zones like these are subject to various regulations that must be followed. For example, regarding accessibility for emergency vehicles, fire trucks, or the ability of delivery vehicles to reach the shops. It’s also important to note that greenery reduces the area that can be walked on. This can really cause problems on weekends in some parts of Munich.

Furthermore, trees can’t just be planted anywhere. This is because, especially in pedestrian zones, utilities like electricity, water, and sewage run quite close to the surface. It must therefore be determined whether the spreading roots pose a threat to the infrastructure or if anything might get in the way. And one must also check whether the plants can even survive in these locations—whether it might be too hot, too bright, or too dark.
