Environment and Health Seminar Series: The 3+30+300 rule for greener and healthier cities - background, implementation, and reflections with Cecil Konijnendijk

In support of local urban greening programs, the 3+30+300 rule (or principle) sets evidence-based guidelines for visible green (seeing at least 3 larger trees from every home, place of work, and school), surrounding green (no less than 30% tree canopy cover in every neighbourhood), and recreational green (at most 300 metres to the nearest, high-quality public green space). Since its launch in early 2021 by the seminar presenter, in the midst of the Covid19-pandemic when the importance of visible and nearby nature became very clear, the rule has been adopted by municipalities, regional and national governments, and international organizations across the world.
