I understand that Atlanta is naturally a very lush and tree filled place. But I'm actually less interested in that, more interested in the city that has the most trees within it's developed core.
The area may be near a dangerous neighborhood... but that doesn't necessarily make it "inner city". There were no homes or buildings on that road. It was just trees. That is not an urban environment.
The second picture you posted again shows an impressive tree canopy... but if you call that "urban" than are definitions of that word are vastly different. Those houses have driveways, front yards, doesn't exactly strike me as urban.
That's the thing there is no separatism with that in Atlanta, If you never seen so many tall trees in such small home lots? come to Atlanta trees dominate point blank. Atlanta core outside of Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead CBD, the intown or inner city neighborhoods is just green as well.
Many Atlanta core neighborhoods home lots are just as small as New Oeleans, Most people would call New Orleans generally urban enough. The difference Atlanta's trees, Atlanta intown is like a giant New Orleans garden distinct.
Also, this is why skyscrapers appear as if they coming randomly out a forest. Atlanta - Google Maps
Near? heck I put in dangerous neighborhoods, again trees!!!!

That's Atlanta, though. It's not building after building like in the northeast. You have a lot of single family homes down here. That's actually a pretty walkable part of town, believe it or not.
So let's not nitpick. I guess you're looking for trees in a downtown setting? Well, Atlanta's got that covered to. There's really no way around the fact that Atlanta is quite possibly the greenest major city in the nation.
Many people list Midwestern cities built on grassland.
Actually, much of the Midwest was not originally grassland. It actually was forested originally, but then cleared for farming. So, even though it seems wide open and treeless sometimes, trees grow very well here naturally. Hence the claims of lots of trees in midwestern cities.

Atlanta may very well be the city with the most trees, but if these are the pictures you're showing...they're just not impressive to me. I mean those neighborhoods don't look much more tree covered than suburban new york or philadelphia, which is probably roughly as dense the areas being shown here.
I mean here's a few from right outside philadelphia, honestly some of them look to be more densely tree covered than the pictures you're showing me of Atlanta:
So again, Atlanta may in fact be number one here, but so far the pictures I've seen just don't support that. All they show is that when a lot of land is left open and undeveloped, lots of trees grow in that land... which honestly, i mean kind of a given. The pictures I've been shown so far don't seem to be any more densely filled with trees than other areas I've seen that have lawns and room to grow trees like that.
To me it's much more impressive to have a truly urban environment that is none the less covered by trees.

Do you know home lots are? because you are so not pay attention. Most major US cities intowns are made with dense shoulder to shoulder homes, the South doesn't have many rowhouses, but instead densely shut gun houses. What I'm trying to point out even with little room to work with, In neighborhoods with more side walk then yard Atlanta still appear as if it's a dense forest And you fail for it.
There's was a reason why I posted New Orleans most people consider New orleans as pretty urban enough. Again
You posted this, look at how much yard this IS, look at how drive away this, Your Philly surburb link is that NOT like the Atlanta above, or any the link above. The home lot link in this Philly Surburb is not even close to how small the home lots in the link of Atlanta I posted. The link I posted about Atlanta the home were actually shoulder to shoulder. Your really not pay attention.

Well that's neither here nor there as the subject of this thread isn't about which cities have the most trees in an urban area, it's about which has the most trees period.
And no it is not just a "given" that its sprawled areas would be very green. The sheer amount of tree cover and height is truly incredible. You'd have to have actually been to Atlanta to know what everyone is talking about.
