Tree Canopy Cover Prioritisation Tool

This is a new tool to help decision-makers choose which locations within London might be prioritised for tree planting. This tool presents the Curio Canopy – London Tree Canopy Cover map at ward scale**\[1\]**, alongside several other environmental and social datasets.

There are multiple factors that influence both the existing variation in tree canopy cover across the capital, and the potential for increasing canopy cover, including population density, land use, differences in natural vegetation and existing habitats, soil type and topography. This tool is not a prescriptive guide to where canopy cover should be increased. It is designed as a tool to help decision-makers including local authorities, NGOs and funders, as well as Londoners, to identify where canopy cover is low, and where further consideration might be given to increasing canopy cover, based on a suite of different factors.

**\[1\]** Wards correct as of March 2019. The City of London is included as a single ward.

本工具旨在辅助决策者挑选伦敦市内可能优先考虑进行树木种植的区域。该工具展示了以地区为单位**[1**]的Curio Canopy——伦敦树冠覆盖图，并结合了其他多个环境和社会数据集。众多因素影响着首都树冠覆盖的现有差异以及增加树冠覆盖的潜力，包括人口密度、土地利用、自然植被和现有栖息地的差异、土壤类型和地形。此工具并非规定性的指导，旨在辅助包括地方当局、非政府组织和资助机构在内的决策者，以及伦敦市民，识别树冠覆盖较低的区域，并基于一系列不同因素，考虑进一步增加树冠覆盖的可能性。**[1**] 以2019年3月的数据为准。伦敦市作为一个单独的地区被包含在内。
