Where can the children play?

“More and more residential development is happening here and around the world. Orleigh Park gets so crowded. But cities like London still have many parks. Every time a building goes up here, there should be additional green space for those people to enjoy. I’m very concerned about what’s going to happen with so many people moving here. We already have so many people living under the bridge who can’t afford a home. Many children are living in apartments without backyards. Where can they play? They need more parks closer to home. I feel governments are looking at the money coming in, and not the spaces that people need. Its poorly planned and many people are feeling like that.”
