PanethosRanking Canadian cities by trees/square kilometer Source: theweathernetwork.com The following list identifies Canadian cities with the highest densities of trees per square kilometer. The numbers include publicly and privately owned trees. Though not all cities have data on their overall tree canopy, enough have gathered the necessary information to provide an interesting comparison. Areas where more data would be useful include Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Boreal Canada, and more areas in British Columbia, including Vancouver. As more information becomes readily available the ranking will be updated accordingly. Peace!

PanethosAmerican cities with the most trees per square mile Source: thoughtco.com Listed below are those larger American cities for whom data on tree canopies is readily available, that have the most trees per square mile. Bear in mind that some examples are solely from inside the city limits proper, while others like Miami are for both the city and surrounding county.Most surprising from the data gathered is the extent of the tree canopies in some Texan cities, especially Dallas and its suburbs, as well as Austin. Also, an unfortunate number of cities have not estimated the extent of their tree canopy.One would have thought that ever city with a collegiate forestry or landscape architecture program would have long since calculated the extent of their tree canopy. Certainly, some have, as Athens, Austin, Seattle, Ann Arbor, Gainesville, and Fort Collins all can attest. But to not find comparable numbers from places like Boulder, Eugene, Raleigh, or Madison was quite unexpected.Peace!Note: Data is for all trees on both public and private property._______<ol><li>Athens, Georgia = 13.3 million or 112,640 trees per square mile</li></ol>2.

Brent FinneganInteresting to see what Cambridge is doing with urban <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/treecanopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#treecanopy</a> cover on private property. Tree removal is often cited by <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/NIMBY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NIMBY</a> opposition as a reason not to build new <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/multifamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#multifamily</a> developments, but the questions we should be asking: 1. How many trees are being removed as a result of parking requirements? 2. What is the city doing to increase UTC & protect trees on private property in general?<a href="https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/publicworks/news/2023/01/implementationofthecitysurbanforestrymasterplanisimprovingcambridgestreecanopy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/publicworks/news/2023/01/implementationofthecitysurbanforestrymasterplanisimprovingcambridgestreecanopy</a>
