Cities are adding trees and green spaces as one way to blunt the impact of warmer average temperatures and heat waves that are longer and hotter due to climate change.
Most people hate or are ambivalent to trees. It’s pretty shocking. If you ask them, they’ll say they love trees but offer to plant one on their property or in their park and you’ll soon see why there aren’t more trees in cities. The primary reason is many people kill them or fight against planting them in the first place.

They don’t hate trees; they’re too lazy to deal with the leaf litter and don’t want to leave it where it falls.
