Nine-city study finds richer neighborhoods get more sidewalk shade
One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees. In cities, as studies have documented, more tree cover lowers surface temperatures and heat-related health risks. However, as a new study led by MIT researchers shows, the amount of tree cover varies widely within cities, and is generally connected to wealth levels. After examining a cross-section of cities on four continents at different latitudes, the research finds a consistent link between wealth and neighborhood tree abundance w…

Good Morning #Canada
#12 on our #CanadaRivers countdown is the 1,287 km long North Saskatchewan River. Starting as glacier-fed in Banff National Park, it flows through Edmonton into Saskatchewan, joining with the South Saskatchewan River to make up the Saskatchewan River, which drains into Lake Winnipeg. The Saskatchewan River system is the largest shared between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with the North Saskatchewan River watershed covering an area of 122,800 km2.
The river acted as a natural boundary between plains Blackfoot of the south and woodland Cree of the north. Archaeologists found evidence of nearly 800 permanent or temporary occupation sites in the Edmonton region alone, dating back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years.
Edmonton's 18,000 km2 North Saskatchewan River valley parks system is the largest system of urban parks in Canada with a network of trails approaching 100 km. Here's the history of its development.
