How much greenery does a healthy neighborhood actually need? 🌳

There’s a simple guideline: the 3-30-300 Rule of Urban Greening: 3 trees visible from every home, 30% tree canopy per neighborhood, and a park within a 300-meter walk. So how does Center City stack up? The answer might surprise you.

Read the full breakdown in this fall’s Center City Review, which can be found in the link in our Instagram bio.
