Local Economics How Trees and Vegetation Connect to Property Values & Retail Green Cities: Good Health science summaries USDA Forest & University of Washington

Green Cities: Good Health City Life & Nearby Nature  living in urbanized areas > 80% of U.S. population > 50% of all people in the world  urban nature & greening = parks, gardens, trees, small landscapes, the urban forest, natural areas December 20123

Green Cities: Good Health Science about Nature Benefits  environmental services air quality stormwater management energy savings  economic value & savings  social benefits public health (eg. physical activity) mental health & function children in nature December 20124

Green Cities: Good Health Social Benefit Local Economics December  monetary values are important in community decision making  ‘what is not counted does not count’  urban vegetation rarely produces marketable goods, yet can provide many measurable services and benefits  nonmarket valuation methods can represent natural assets

back to …. Local Economics quality canopy cover & landscape are tied to higher economic values in communities.....

Green Cities: Good Health research highlights Residential & Homes  Having larger trees in yards & as street trees can add from 3-15% to home values in neighborhoods. Wolf, 2007, Arborist News  Average market effect of street trees on all house values across Portland, OR (population 590,000) Donovan and Butry, 2010, Landscape and Urban Planning  = total value of $1.35 billion  potentially increasing city’s annual property tax revenues $15.3 million December

Green Cities: Good Health research highlights Homes Near Parks  Homes adjacent to naturalistic parks & open spaces are valued 8-20% higher than similar properties  Positive price effect declines to near zero about ½ mile away Crompton, 2001, PAS Report 502 December

Green Cities: Good Health research highlights Retail & Shoppers  Shoppers claim to spend 9-12% more for goods & services in central business districts having high quality tree canopy. Wolf, 2005, Journal of Forestry  CBDs with high quality trees? Shoppers claim they will travel greater distance, for a longer time & spend more time once arriving Wolf, 2005, Journal of Forestry; Wolf, 2003, Journal of Arboriculture December

Conclusion City trees & urban greening provide many intangible services & benefits Quality outdoor environments are part of livable cities The economic values of parks, trees, and gardens are measurable Planting, management & stewardship are good public investments
