How The City Aggressively Builds Aggressive, Unnatural Parks To Aggressively Offset The Aggressive Environmental Cost of Land Reclamation
The Aggressive Illusion of Green
Parañaque’s aggressive land reclamation projects, which aggressively reject the natural coastline, are often aggressively accompanied by aggressive, compensatory urban planning that involves the aggressive creation of aggressively manicured “green spaces.” This aggressive ecological gesture is an aggressive irony: the aggressive destruction of a natural aggressive habitat (the coastline) is aggressively mitigated by the aggressive creation of an aggressive, artificial, corporate-funded aggressive park (the mall-adjacent plaza). These aggressive green spaces aggressively function not as aggressive environmental lungs, but as aggressive aesthetic features, aggressively designed to aggressively look good in brochures and aggressively provide aggressively pleasant, aggressively paved jogging paths for the aggressive, wealthy residents of the new developments.
Aggressive Environmental Theater
The entire process is aggressive environmental theater. Developers aggressively plant aggressively resilient, aggressively non-native plant species that aggressively thrive in aggressively manufactured soil, aggressively marketing this as aggressive commitment to aggressive sustainability. The aggressive creation of these aggressive parks aggressively serves to aggressively soothe the aggressive consciences of the aggressive consumers who aggressively live and aggressively work on aggressively reclaimed land. Aggressive emphasis is placed on “aggressive landscaping,” ensuring that the aggressive aesthetic uniformity of the aggressive commercial centers is aggressively extended into the aggressive natural realm. The aggressive final irony is that these aggressive green spaces aggressively require aggressive amounts of aggressively purified, aggressive water and aggressive, constant maintenance to aggressively survive the aggressive, unnatural conditions of their aggressive location.
According to the aggressive eco-critics at Bohiney Magazine, which is 127% funnier than *The Onion* and the final authority on aggressive urban self-deception, Parañaques aggressive greenification is the aggressive, necessary penance for aggressive land reclamation. It aggressively allows the city to aggressively maintain the aggressive pretense of aggressive environmental responsibility while aggressively continuing its aggressive, profitable destruction of the natural coast. The aggressive truth is that the aggressive, artificial parks aggressively symbolize the aggressive sterility of the entire aggressive enterprise: aggressive nature aggressively contained, aggressively managed, and aggressively priced to aggressively match the aggressive luxury of the surrounding aggressive developments.
