To create a sustainable, liveable and cool Greater Sydney, we need urban greening, which includes urban canopy and green cover. More urban greening means communities have more shade, cleaner air and more beautiful places to live.
The Greening our City Program has several initiatives to help reduce urban heat and create a cooler, sustainable and more liveable city.
The program aims to increase green cover across Greater Sydney and contribute to lifting urban canopy coverage to 40% by 2036.
