this article‚ Thomas made a few observations about how valuable parks and green spaces are to cities and their inhabitants. He argued that parks and green spaces brings joy and people together. I agree with this fact as parks are perfect places for people to socialize. He also argued that nowadays parks are preserved. I disagree with this. In a rapidly urbanized world‚ parks have lost its value. In paragraph 3‚ Thomas mentioned that parks are soothing to the stressed soul. In a knowledge-based economy
