Trees and property values
Trees have considerable instinctual appeal to most people, but their monetary value in an urban environment is harder to quantify. While proximity to long-established, well-maintained parks tends to be rewarded with increased property values, are there any measurable effects from “greening projects”? A recent study by two University of Pennsylvania researchers offers some insight into the question.
