DO people live in the city because they love to, or because they need to? Here is an uncomfortable yet question that needs an overdue answer.
High cost of living, stress, traffic jams and many other debilitating factors are a common feature in the urban landscape. Yet we continue to tolerate it in the name of material pursuit.
Without question, the lack of trees and greeneries in the concrete jungle is one of the major reasons for air pollution.
Cities tend to have higher levels of pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, which in the long term, causes asthma, bronchitis, and even cardiovascular diseases.
Additionally, city living often promotes a sedentary lifestyle. With busy work schedules and limited access to green spaces, urban dwellers may find themselves engaging in less physical activity.
The lack of outdoor spaces and the prevalence of fast food outlets encourage unhealthy eating habits, contributing to obesity, diabetes, and other lifestyle-related diseases.
That said, outdoor spaces, whether it is a park, garden, or simply a walk through nature brings many benefits.
Green spaces are crucial for mental and physical health, offering opportunities for relaxation, exercise, and fresh air.
Without them, residents often miss out on the benefits of nature, which include stress reduction and improved overall well-being.
Tech & Trees
Speaking of benefits, now try to imagine if a resident lives in a 12,000 sq ft natural green sanctuary right in the middle of the city.
That is what smart development e.Sentral by award-winning HCK Capital is all about, with its unique DNA of tech and trees.
Although the government requires a minimum of 10% for landscaping, HCK Capital has taken the great initiative to apportion a whopping total area of 17% for greenscapes.
At e.Sentral, residents can enjoy 12,000 sq ft of green goodness at the podium, at the same time, being granted a bird’s eye view of the surrounding.
Beyond the landscape, sustainability is woven seamlessly into every aspect of its design, creating a living experience that is not only beautiful but also mindful of the environment.
e.Sentral features carefully selected materials that speak to both elegance and eco-consciousness.
Note that the paint throughout e.Sentral is thoughtfully chosen for its low volatile organic compounds content, ensuring that the indoor air remains pure, fresh, and free from harmful substances.
The walls don’t just brighten up the home. They also contribute to a healthier, more breathable indoor environment.
Future-proofed
Stepping outside, the charm of e.Sentral extends to its outdoor spaces, where every detail has been carefully considered.
The use of anti-fungal paint ensures that the beauty of these spaces is preserved, minimising the growth of mould and maintaining a pristine, inviting atmosphere for all who gather in these outdoor retreats.
Furthermore, e.Sentral’s commitment to durability and comfort is evident in its waterproofing measures, expertly implemented in every wet area.
From the bathrooms to the scupper drains and even the concrete roofs, every part of the development is fortified to prevent water leakage and the potential for mould growth.
These proactive measures ensure that homes remain safe, secure, and structurally sound for years to come, allowing residents to enjoy long-term peace of mind and comfort.
In every corner, from the carefully crafted walls to the robust exterior, e.Sentral is a testament to sustainability and timeless design, offering a harmonious blend of luxury and environmental responsibility.
It is more than just a place to live. It is a sanctuary built with foresight, care, and a deep respect for both people and the planet. Find out more about e.Sentral at: https://esentralsmartcity.com/—Mar 8, 2025
