Green space becomes a criterion when choosing to buy an apartment
Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (Nam Tu Liem district - Hanoi) said he has lived and worked in Hanoi for 15 years. At first, settling in a big city was very difficult, so he decided to buy a 1-bedroom apartment. However, when you are financially stable, the need to live in spacious space and with more trees gradually forms.
"The pace of urbanization is happening very quickly. Many large projects are springing up, the population is growing rapidly, making the atmosphere stuffy. Before, I lived alone, but when my children went to college, they also moved there. Because my finances are more stable, I also try to find an apartment near a park, a lake, and lots of trees to enjoy fresh air. In fact, living in the countryside is nice But because I work here, I have to live here. However, planting more trees and living in an area with many trees also makes my mood much more comfortable."
Like Mr. Hung, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hiep (Hoai Duc district - Hanoi) said he was looking for a larger apartment with more trees: "I'm in an apartment in an urban area in Hoai Duc district. It's an urban area. City, there are very few trees here, looking around there is only concrete. In addition, the road is clogged here, and my house is far from work, so I feel normal, but my wife feels suffocated because of her I just got pregnant, so my wife and I are looking for an apartment that's airy and has more trees."
The trend of "greening" the office
Not only focusing on green space when choosing to buy an apartment , many young people today tend to "green" their workspace.
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Chien - an office worker working in Hoan Kiem district (Hanoi) - shared: "I'm staying in a boarding house, the space is quite narrow, only about 30m2. Because I live with another friend to share It's not convenient to decorate the room. The room only has one small window, so sometimes it feels cramped. So when I go to work, the office is spacious, so I decided to plant more plants and buy a vase fish and take care of them every day. Since I planted the tree, my colleagues have also followed suit. So the office is now filled with green."
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Giang - working in Cau Giay - Hanoi, from the day she entered the office, she felt very excited when she saw everyone in the department diligently planting trees and watering them. "Working in a stressful environment, taking care of trees, and looking at flowers helps me feel much more comfortable. I see that most departments in the agency plant trees. This trend is popular with many young people. Z loves it. Some young people also raise fish, snails or turtles, and grow moss to be closer to nature" - Ms. Giang said.
