Software to help towns and cities use street-planting to reduce citizens exposure to air pollution has been developed by researchers at the University of Birmingham.
Street planting, or green infrastructure , is an essential part of the urban realm, but there is a misconception that plants remove or soak up a lot of pollution. Instead, planting at this scale primarily serves to redistribute pollution by changing air currents within streets and beside open roads.
Because of this, not only the position and amount of planting within a street, but also the layout and orientation of that street, are critical to its impacts on local air quality.

The scheme will receive NCF funding to develop canopy cover across the city and plant up to 500ha of woodland by 2025, which is expected to more than treble in size to 1600ha by 2034. Plymouth will plant up to 25ha in the first year of this project and receive up to £480,000 in funding from the NCF funded Trees for Climate.
