urban greenery
Metropolitan botanical presence
Urban greenery refers to plants, trees, and vegetation within city environments—parks, street trees, rooftop gardens, and green spaces that interrupt the built landscape.
The term appears in discussions of city planning, environmental health, and quality of life: The neighborhood lacks urban greenery.
It encompasses both designed landscapes and naturalized areas that soften urban density.
