To create a more sustainable, liveable and cooler urban environment, we need to improve urban greening. This means building more resilient communities with greater urban canopy and green cover. This leads to more shade, cleaner air and beautiful spaces.
The NSW Government has several initiatives to help address urban heating, grow greener neighbourhoods and improve the overall urban environment.
The Greening our City Program aims to increase green cover across Greater Sydney and contribute to an uplift in urban canopy coverage to 40% by 2036.
