perhaps the best-known urban park in the world -not in vain has been the scene of numerous films, has an approximate size of 4,000 x 800 meters. It is larger than two of the smallest nations in the world: almost multiplied by two the territory of Monaco and for eight that of the Vatican City.

The entire park, including its lakes and mountains, was created by man. The plans of this authentic nature reserve were designed by the American Frederick Law Olmsted and by Calvert Vaux, a British citizen. It was completed in the year 1873 and houses some 250,000 trees in numerous valleys.

This large urban park provides various benefits to the inhabitants of the Big Apple, In addition to being a great leisure and recreational area, it has been demonstrated that a green space revalues the real estate of its surroundings, and contributes to purify the air and generate an environment cleaner.

But let us return to the question asked at the beginning at this point. To answer it, we must bear in mind that the amount of oxygen that a tree can produce is very variable, since it depends on very different factors such as its species, its age or its state of health; However, if we can offer a rough estimate, a tree of a Spanish oak tree releases 42 kilos of oxygen a year on average, which means that approximately 250,000 trees in Central Park would generate a total of 10.5 million kilos of oxygen. during those twelve months.

this is not the only benefit that a park like Central Park brings to the people who live in its environment. The green areas of cities, in addition to helping to combat pollution, becoming true lungs of the urban environment, help people living in their surroundings to relax and reduce stress, contribute to improve our physical health - because they encourage us to to walk and also to practice sport in a healthier environment - and also foster social relationships.

Cities should have at least 10 to 15 square meters of green area per inhabitant.
