The Greening of Chiang Mai – by Shane K Beary

As is the trend in global politics and development nowadays views tend to be so polarized that it is difficult to establish consensus. I invite the mayoral candidates and others to review and comment on the attached proposal that offers compromise in the development of future and sustainable development of Chiang Mai.

I also call for all those who wish the best for Chiang Mai and its people, to submit their thoughts and on suggestions for inclusion
in our “Future Trends Study”, designed to provide the elected leaders with the background detail they will need to evaluate in order to
make well informed and visionary decisions on the future develop the city, so that we may benefit and not suffer from the changes that
are happening in this fast changing world.

1. Establishing the Thaa Phae River Market & Festival Area.
2. The transformation of the Mae Kha Canal into permanent  Walking Street.
3. The greening of downtown Chiang Mai.
