WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
The global urban-bird study above is the strongest empirical piece: the ecological performance of urban green space appears related to both how much exists and what condition it is in, which is much closer to landscape-architecture thinking than the common “percent canopy” metric alone.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
The global analysis reports associations and modeled greening scenarios. It does not show that every greening project will deliver the same bird or cooling response.
