Rise in security planter interest

Governments, architects and urban planners are

increasingly turning to trees to help improve air

quality and address climate change in cities, but

they are also being used to keep people safe too.

Securiscapeis reporting increased inquiries from

organisations hoping to use its designer PAS 68 street planters, designed

to foil hostile vehicle-borne attacks, to grow trees. The self-watering

technology behind modern planters means that providing the trees are

of the correct variety then they can happily survive in urban locations,

such as London, where Securiscape installed a row of PAS68 planters,

finished with a bronze patina shroud, outside the Broadgate estate.
