Sir, – Susan O'Brien (Letters, May 18th) makes the startling claim that "an urban space without integrated greenery is nothing short of dull, dreary and depressing".
Would she consider St Peter’s Square in Rome, Times Square in New York or the Place de la Concorde in Paris – none of them known for their greenery – “dull, dreary and depressing”?

Hopefully they will go in the reconfiguration planned for that space. – Yours, etc,
