Just Trees
JUST TREES, funded by the Turku Urban Research Program, investigates the sufficiency, accessibility, and equitable distribution of urban nature in densely populated residential areas from the perspective of multispecies well-being. This concept aims to design living environments considering the needs of both humans and other species. Project aims to 1) enhance understanding of the well-being benefits provided by greenery for both humans and other species, and 2) provide information and guidance to support the well-being, climate, and biodiversity benefits of urban nature, particularly trees. The project applies the 3-30-300 rule, which states that everyone should see three trees from their home, neighborhoods should have 30% tree canopy cover, and everyone should have access to a green space within 300 meters.
