This disparity has real consequences. Green spaces are often public spaces, and they're known to be associated with social and economic well-being. They can also reduce crime and foster social cohesion. Trees also can help to filter harmful air pollution and provide evaporative cooling and shade and relief for some of these high temperatures. So not only are those poorer neighborhoods at a greater disadvantage from access to green space, but they're also more vulnerable to air pollution and climate change.
