Research question

How equally is urban greenspace exposure distributed across Chinese cities?

Geographic scope

303 Chinese cities

Evidence base

Dynamic population-weighted greenspace exposure

Approach

Population dynamics are combined with urban greenspace measurements to compare actual exposure and its within-city distribution.

Why it matters

The study shows why citywide greenspace coverage can conceal substantial inequality in the environments experienced by residents.
