You should submit a draft of your Proposal Document here. As we have discussed, you should use the APA Proposal Template, so you will be building on the Abstract you have already submitted and the work you did in class on Friday. Your draft should have a title page, an abstract of 150 words or less, the proposal itself (beginning on page 3 and containing headings as provided), and a References page with at least 2 sources (also cited in text). Your document should be 1200-2000 words long in total.

1-Mouratidis, K. (2019). The impact of urban tree cover on perceived safety. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 44, 126434.
This study examines the societal benefits of urban trees, focusing on their relationship with perceived neighborhood safety. Beyond environmental advantages such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity support, and improved air quality, the research analyzes survey, GIS, and statistical data from 1,344 residents across 45 neighborhoods in Oslo. The findings show a significant positive correlation between tree canopy cover and perceived safety.
would use this source in my proposal to demonstrate that increasing urban tree coverage provides broader benefits beyond shade and carbon reduction. Specifically, it supports the argument that expanding tree canopy in Arizona communities could improve residents sense of safety and overall quality of life
2-Lee, S. (2021). Does tree canopy moderate the association between neighborhood walkability and street crime?. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 65, 127336.
This study examines the relationship between walkability, tree canopy cover, and street crime in Austin, Texas. Using crime data from 20142018, Walk Score measurements, and tree canopy data, the researchers analyzed both violent and property crimes occurring on streets. The findings suggest that walkable neighborhoods can have both positive and negative effects on crime: increased street activity may deter crime through greater visibility (eyes on the street), but it can also increase anonymity and opportunity for criminal activity.
I would use this source in my proposal to strengthen the argument that urban tree coverage provides safety related benefits alongside environmental advantages. Specifically, this study supports the idea that while walkability can have mixed effects on crime.

This study examines how increasing street tree coverage can reduce heat exposure under future climate change scenarios in Vancouver. Using climate models and simulations, the researchers found that higher tree canopy significantly lowers mean radiant temperature (Tmrt), helping offset projected increases in extreme heat. The study concludes that expanding urban tree cover is an effective strategy for improving outdoor thermal comfort and reducing heat vulnerability.
