Montreal 3-30-300 Green Space Access Planning Polygons

Open Canada hosts polygon data representing the 3-30-300 rule for urban forestry, developed by researcher Cecil Konijnendijk. The layers support planning for 500,000 tree plantings by 2030 under Montreal's Climate Plan and identify vulnerable sectors for greening projects.

Use Cases

• Identify neighborhoods lacking green space within 300 meters for targeted tree planting initiatives.
• Analyze tree canopy coverage to locate areas below the 30% target for urban forestry projects.
• Plan climate-resilient infrastructure using polygon layers that map vulnerable sectors in Montreal.

Strengths

• Data supports a concrete municipal target of planting 500,000 trees by 2030.
• Polygons are derived from a defined urban forestry rule (3-30-300) developed by a published researcher.
• Available in multiple GIS formats including GEOJSON and SHP for spatial analysis.

Limitations

• No column definitions or sample data are provided to understand attribute structure.
• The dataset's spatial and temporal resolution or row count is unknown.
• Original metadata was machine-translated, which may introduce inaccuracies.
