Urbanization, Landscape, Bougainvillea, Beautification, SocietyAbstract
Urbanization and landscaping are interrelated. Urbanization cannot be nullified due to modernization. The conception of the landscape of an urban area is also a contemporary upgrading of the innovative application of plant species. The literature on both topics is historic. An immeasurable quantity of literature and knowledge has developed on urbanization and landscaping, especially on plant species. Enormous numbers of plant species have been identified by the strenuous handwork of the scientific and landscape designer brotherhood. In recent times, Bougainvillea has come up as a remarkable specimen for urban landscaping, which has overwhelmed designers and society. An attempt has been made in the article to spotlight the heterogeneous landscape-friendly excellence of Bougainvillea. Contemplating the impressive benefaction, few scientifically based work plans have been suggested for long-term target-oriented landscaping with Bougainvillea.
