There is a great deal of research showing the positive benefits of having trees in cities. Based on this research, a principle has been developed that serves as a working method with clear rules and goals. This principle is called the 3-30-300 rule, and it states that:
-
- All residents should be able to see three trees from their homes
-
- That there should be 30 percent tree canopy cover in every residential area
-
- For everyone to live within 300 meters of the nearest park or green space
Working with the 3-30-300 approach is an effective way to make cities more resilient and their residents healthier, both physically and mentally.
In this course, we’ll go over the various parameters (3-30-300) and relate them to practical actions and strategic decisions. We’ll also address common questions such as:
-
- How can you measure 3-30-300?
-
- How can the 3-30-300 approach be used when communicating with, for example, politicians and the general public?
-
- How can the 3-30-300 approach be used in new construction and infill development?
In addition, the course will focus on the various parameters in 3-30-300 and will therefore cover the following:
3
-
- How can parameter 3 be measured?
-
- How can trees be planted in challenging locations?
-
- The "Plantable Spots" method, which is a method for increasing the number of trees that survive after planting, is presented and discussed
30
-
- There are currently a large number of ways to measure tree canopy cover; we will present the various methods and discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
-
- How can trees be preserved during construction, for example, so that tree canopy cover is maintained or increased?
-
- What scientific evidence is there for parameter 30?
300
-
- In Sweden, most people live near green spaces, but how can you determine the quality of an area?
-
- Acquit or Convict 3.0 is applied in various settings
-
- We highlight how other fund managers have gone about measuring quality
