| Summary: | The sustainable development of urban natural areas is closely related to the connection through forested streets. The study is part of the research project “Reforestation and Rescue of Urban and Natural Open Spaces. Laguna Nuevo Amanecer. PFI2014-54” funded by the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas in 2014-2015. In order to evaluate the situation of the polygon, the indicators of the Urban Sustainability Plan of Vitoria Gasteiz (2010) were used: tree density per section of street, spatial perception of urban green and thermal comfort. Currently, 2 % of the streets on the polygon are in the minimum parameters of density of trees per section of Street. With the proposal of vegetation, it reaches 99 % of the established value between minimum and desirable, and increases the thermal comfort from 2 to 9 hours. The foresting of the streets directly improves the quality of life in tropical cities. It reduces energy consumption, serves as a link with other green spaces and contributes to the increase of biodiversity in natural ecosystems. |
