One approach to help us improve biodiversity might be to pursue “the 3-30-300 rule”: that everyone should have sight of three trees, every neighbourhood should have 30% canopy cover, and everyone should live within 300 metres of a park or green space. This concept is the work of a group crammed Creat Streets and last month they published a report on Greening Up our streets – https://www.createstreets.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Greening_Up_Executive_Summary.pdf
The report is full of facts illustrating the health and well-being effects of green urban areas, and outlines policies and ideas that would promote the greening of our streets. Such greening also has benefits in tackling the climate crisis and in mitigating some of the effects of climate change.
