Urban forest inequity, also known as shade inequity or tree canopy inequity, is the inequitable distribution of trees, with their associated benefits, across metropolitan areas. Urban forest inequity is often seen as a form of environmental injustice because lower-income communities and marginalized groups commonly receive less of the social, environmental, and health benefits urban forests provide.
