In the quest to make Bangkok greener and more livable, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is teaming up with civil groups, private entities and scholars to realise the governor's flagship policy "15 Minute Pocket Parks" by transforming unused lands in the city into public green spaces.
Bangkok has undergone many changes to keep up with its rapid growth, but as the city grows, it also faces a deficit in public green spaces to provide recreational areas for the citizens and act as the city's lungs. However, Pornphrom Vikitsreth, an adviser to the Bangkok governor, said the BMA has been working hard to create more public green spaces. Last year, the BMA acquired 107 plots of land to develop as pocket parks under the project.
