Phys.org Earth SciencesAccording to a recent study by Macquarie University, published on Phys.org Earth Sciences, Sydney suburbs are undergoing significant changes with a shift towards denser streetscapes and fewer trees. The research reveals that a typical knock-down rebuild in the area results in the loss of nearly half of the front garden and over 60% of the tree canopy. This trend, driven by the construction of larger houses and double garages, may have implications for urban planning and infrastructure development. As cities continue to evolve, understanding these changes can inform decisions related to resource management and mineral exploration in surrounding regions.
