Question

[110]. Passage:

Urban parks are often planned as lawns for photographs, yet their real value is ecological and social. A park with native trees cools a neighbourhood, absorbs rain, shelters birds and gives children a place to play without paying. When parks are fenced, ticketed and manicured into flower beds, the poorest users are priced out and biodiversity shrinks. A good park is therefore a commons: messy in places, open to all, and managed with residents rather than for them. On the passage about urban parks, what is its central argument?

1.
It argues only for more funding without any change
2.
It argues the subject should be abandoned
3.
commons for all
