Connecting With Nature at New Haven’s "Urban Parklet" (Yale F&ES)

"A forest has sprouted from the asphalt in New Haven’s Fair Haven neighborhood, complete with maple, oak, and elm trees that are familiar to the city’s neighborhoods. But these 'trees' weren’t grown — they were built. Second-year student Misha Semenov ’19 M.E.M./M.Arch., and Kassandra Leiva, a student at the Yale School of Architecture, have built what they call New Haven’s 'Urban Canopy Parklet.'"
