"Approximately one-third of the city’s total surface area is covered by vegetation, more than twice as much as past studies had assumed."
I've lived here 12 years, visited it for 5 more before.
Always marveled at how much greener NYC is than one thinks AND getting greener.

And I suspect that's because to cut any tree in the city, you have to jump through Lot of hoops and convince a lot of people.
Whereas you don't get as much opposition to planting more trees or creating more green spaces.
Perks of being a solid Blue city.

Related, so putting here.
Having gotten involved in local politics in NYC the last few years, I see now how much of an active role citizens play in shaping such decisions.
NYC has gotten greener cos it's citizens could & did make it happen. Both.

"I'm proud of my dad for getting arrested protesting the refinery. Not everyone who is arrested is a criminal. Many are defenders of their motherland.
Only one demand - cancel refinery.
Cancel the refinery, save Konkan"

Context:
A year ago, Modi & the Supreme Court colluded to topple the government in Mumbai remotely.
Since then, @Dev_Fadnavis is focused on grabbing land and giving it to rich people.
In Aarey colony, Pune, Konkan, and elsewhere, crony projects getting fast tracked.

Between 2019 and 2022, Maharashtra generally didn't have violence or crackdowns or police action. In fact, Uddhav got props for his transparent handling of COVID.
The thing is, Uddhav, while a politician, is a bit of a tree hugger.
That did not sit well with the BJP.

#Pune has turned from an idyllic, lush serene city to a broken, dusty and noisy one in the last few years. Every road is either under construction or a complete mess. New roads opened come with existing bumps and potholes at launch.
#Kothrud to #Bavdhan that used to be a 15 minute leisurely drive is a chaotic 1.2 hours and sometimes more during a jam in the newly twisted Chandni Chowk roads.
For a doctors appointment 6 km away, I have to leave an hour early sometimes. #PuneTraffic

And if it so much as drizzles, god help you!
This whole side of the city is ruined.
Tree are chopped mercilessly, roads are dusty and filthy, Unnecessary diversion and constant traffic jam. And now the latest planned onslaught on #vetaltekdi . #punerains
