Colored flowers reduce stress in Dubai traffic

In an interview with Emirates24|7, Yasan Awad, senior landscape specialist talks about Dubai's flower power. In 2015, Dubai planted 56 million flowers all over Dubai roads and parks.

Awad details how there's a science behind the color patterns on the streets. "We introduced the color psychology in our flower selection for roads. Colors have a big impact on an individual’s state of mind and mood.
