Overseas, the ‘3-30-300' city planning rule is increasingly seen as critical to human health and wellbeing. But new research from @RMIT has found Sydney and Melbourne are failing when it comes to one key component - tree cover. https://t.co/Cwec8eVFo6

The new idea is helping residents live healthier and happier lives, but detailed maps show how parts of Australia are falling short.

Many cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature. The ‘3’ is often met and the ‘300’ is patchy due to poor tree canopy coverage. Cities need better planting conditions and governance to support tree growth @_ficus @TerrEcolGroup @geoconR @sbekessy

Nature Communications - The study reveals that most buildings in eight global cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature, due to insufficient tree canopy. The ‘3’ standard is...

A great piece by @_ficus and @HollyKirk for @ConversationEDU on using 'stepping stones' to connect isolated #wildlife habitats to help #birds and #insects thrive in our cities. #UrbanWildlife #NatureInCitites
theconversation.com
Our cities are full of obstacles and hazards for native wildlife but also contain many valuable patches of habitat. Creating green spaces to connect these patches improves their lives and ours.

The tangle of greenery along railway lines, flowers growing on vacant lots, or unmown grassy patches under power lines, it turns out people in cities engage with nature in all these spaces, write researchers from @RMIT. https://t.co/a41jIdoeM2

While all trees can have some benefits, many of the benefits of nature in cities are linked to biodiversity — not just greenery. Read more from: @Biodivcouncil's @sbekessy from @ICON_Science @RMIT

Increasing the amount of nature in our cities can provide many benefits as long as it's done with biodiversity in mind.
