For years, city leaders have to the idea of “greening” our streets, yet the moment budgets tighten, tree planting is the first thing to be quietly . That is shortsighted: a mature canopy doesn’t just prettify a neighbourhood; it pollution, heatwaves and, by nudging people outdoors, can even help . Still, the politics are awkward. Residents clamour for shade but when roots buckle pavements or leaves clog gutters, and councillors, wary of being , retreat into vague pledges. Meanwhile, developers talk up sustainability while with token planters and glossy renderings that bear little relation to what gets built.
