Keeping people healthy in cities, especially poorer areas, is hard, and a simple, effective and scientifically proven prescription for improving health is to plant more trees. The idea of planting more trees in urban environments is so simple, affordable and effective that it’s hard to understand why we aren’t doing it more urgently, especially when there is so much evidence showing how much good trees do.
