Summary of Cities

We selected 5 US cities that are similar in size, but that range in the percentage of canopy cover. We are in the process of exploring how newborn health varies across cities with varying levels of canopy cover and air pollutants, and how increased canopy cover might reduce vulnerability of urban-dwelling mothers and infants to long-term health disorders.
