    The 3+30+300 Principle: A Blueprint for Greener, Healthier Cities 🌳 Imagine stepping outside your home and seeing three large trees. Walking through your neighbourhood, 30% of the space is covered by a lush canopy. And within just 300 metres, a high-quality green space awaits. This is the 3+30+300 Principle - a simple yet powerful framework for building healthier, climate-resilient, and more liveable cities. Developed by urban forestry expert Cecil Konijnendijk, this principle is backed by research and already shaping urban policies worldwide. 🌍 Why does 3+30+300 matter? The benefits of urban trees and green spaces are profound: ✅ Mental health & well-being: Just seeing trees can reduce stress and improve focus. ✅ Climate resilience: Tree canopy helps cool cities and absorb stormwater. ✅ Social equity: Ensures all communities - not just the wealthiest - have access to nature. ✅ Biodiversity: Supports urban wildlife and ecological balance. It all starts with assessment, strategic planning, and collective action. Whether you’re a policymaker, urban planner, developer, or community leader - our guides provide the tools to turn this vision into reality. 📖 Check out our 2024 World Cities Report on strategies to build nature and resilience into our cities.
