Tree Canopy Shade Inequality Examined in the Twin Cities
Original: Who Gets the Shade? Tree Canopy and Environmental Equity in the Twin Cities
A new analysis in the Twin Cities examines how tree canopy cover is distributed across Minneapolis and St. Paul neighbourhoods, framing shade as an environmental equity issue. Areas with less tree cover tend to face hotter streets, and the piece asks which communities benefit most from urban shade and which are left exposed.
Why now: Urban heat and unequal tree cover are drawing attention as cities weigh climate adaptation and equity investments.
