Some cities do have tree canopy goals and survey for tree cover, for example, here’s seattles website linking to some reports: http://www.seattle.gov/trees/canopycover.htm http://www.seattle.gov/trees/canopycover.htm And raw dataset: http://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/0b8c124ace214943ab0379623937eccb_6?geometry=-122.75%2C47.572%2C-121.942%2C47.734 http://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/0b8c... I remember seeing canopy goals in some southern cities as well, think it depends on bioregional factors along with citizen/cultural interest.
