That is what surprised me. King’s Park is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world.
New suburbs with no substantial trees, or only small establishing trees, are going to tip the balance toward lowest tree-canopy numbers…

Massive mood kill, especially in summer. Those streets are deserted in summer, everybody sticking to their own little caves.
The new developments in my area, East of Perth, have retained some trees as they’re building. I think its council regs again though, so can’t say the same for other parts of Perth.
