Oral presentation topic

My oral presentation will be about the distribution of green areas in Santiago.

I decided to talk about this, because green areas have a notorious concentration in the residential zones, where the most accommodated people live. Green areas are necessary for the people’s health and in Santiago there are insufficient. Considering the development in Chile in the last years, and the Santiago positioning as a city of business, we have the resources for invest in environmental policy for developing of green areas, but the distribution of new green areas should not be in places where there is already a high concentration of green areas, like upper class municipalities.

Municipalities with higher income levels, have sufficient green areas for them population, but poor municipalities, have no resources to increase them green areas. The world health organization, recommended green areas of 9 meters per capita, in Santiago the media is 4 meters per capita, considering that there are municipalities with a lot more, like Vitacura, who increase the media.

Santiago is a very contaminated city, who needs an urban planning for the development of a good environment.  I will try to get information about the native woods in Santiago which are being deforested for the expansion of the city. 

In my presentation I will show the distribution of green areas in Santiago, and I will compare with other developed cities, to see how we should be in a years.

For my presentation I will use statistics, photographs, and comparison between different neighborhoods in Santiago.
