Urban Tree Canopy assessments allow communities to prioritize planting/greening goals based on social, economic, and ecological criteria such as flooding, wildlife habitat, urban heat island/heat stress, public health (e.g., asthma), crime, income, and other variables. The information from these assessments has been used to inform UTC goals ...
