Not so long ago, experts considered Pittsburgh's urban tree canopy of 42% — tree shading about two-fifths of the city — to be good for an American city.
But a recent presentation pointed out the inequitable distribution of this tree canopy across Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
So, how are the trees distributed?
The best tree canopies exist in predominantly wealthy and white neighborhoods. Nearly half of the communities with less-than-Pittsburgh-average tree canopy are disproportionately low-income and Black.
Here's why it matters: Having fewer trees and green spaces to enjoy impacts the mental health and well-being of residents, but it also causes problems like poorer air quality, increased temperatures and flooding.
Can Pittsburgh make its tree landscape more equitable? Read the story now. ([link removed])
