Populations overheat as major cities fail canopy goals

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

A new study measuring access to nature for eight major global cities found most still have inadequate canopy cover, despite access to an abundance of trees.

Less than 30% of buildings in New York City , Amsterdam , Buenos Aires , Denver , central Sydney and central Melbourne were in neighbourhoods with adequate canopy cover.

The research, a collaboration with the Technical University of Munich , studied over 2.5 million buildings across eight cities.

The researchers collaborated with Dutch firm Cobra Groeninzicht (Green Insights ) to visualise the results.

The ' 3-30-300' metric really demands that nature is brought to the areas that people actually live and work in, Weisser said.

"A municipality with almost treeless streets and a few large, well-forested parks may score well on aggregated metrics of canopy and per-capita greenery but will be exposed as inadequate".
