Atlanta is also arguably the sprawliest City in the US, and thats not without lots of competition.

Greater Houston and Metro Dallas both cover more area, but both have more people (~1-1.5M)

thus, the competition

Useless factoid: In the 150m to 300m built and u/c metric, Atlanta has 18 buildings (Toronto has more than 130).

For a metro of 5-6 million (depending on the bean counter/source) Atlanta's downtown built form is relatively modest imo.

None of which is very useful regarding the tree canopy discussion lol... suffice to say Atlanta and Toronto could well be the 2 greenest big cities on the continent.

Comparisons can be challenging. There are different ways of calculating tree canopy cover which produce slightly different numbers, there's also the matter of where to draw boundaries.

But of major urban Centres in North America, I would probably put Toronto second.

Atlanta, Georgia, by just about every measure is more heavily treed (though less so right in its downtown core)

For comparison purposes Toronto is about ~30% tree canopy, where Atlanta is close to 36%

That's pretty misleading. Atlanta might have 6% more tree cover, but it has about 1/3 the density of Toronto (comparing only city propers, I don't want to embarrass Atlanta too much). As a whole, an area that includes X million people in Atlanta would have far fewer trees and disrupt more of the environment than the same area in Toronto (because although it has 6% more tree cover, it would be 3X the size).

This can be easily visualized by looking at similar areas of the city, about the same distance from their respective downtown, using the same scale. I did not cherrypick here; go on Google Maps and check for yourself:

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming; Photos taken October 29th, 2023.

The photos will start at Charles east of Yonge, work their way up Yonge, then along Yorkville before a pic from Bloor and Huron to finish.

Atlanta is also why Georgia is blu...

...oh, wait...what where we talking about? Of course, The One! Er...nice pics, Northern Light-san! <3

Uhhhh, @hawc ; you're missing something there. That's a great shot of Crothers, but you're shooting up hill which is north-east, the opposite direction of 'The One'.

I thought my vision was failing me.

I took these two hours ago, as I praised the word of Azuth (*wore a wizard outfit for Halloween, with regalia related to Dungeons and Dragons)
Tonight is quite an interesting scene.
