Research question

How does unequal greenspace exposure differ between cities in the Global North and Global South?

Geographic scope

Major cities · Global North and Global South

Evidence base

Cross-city comparison of population exposure to greenspace

Approach

Comparable population and greenspace information is used to evaluate both the level and distribution of exposure across global urban contexts.

Why it matters

The study moves the discussion from citywide greenness to the unequal exposure experienced by urban populations.
