Abstract
⺠Examination of equity in Montreal show that low-income people and visible minorities have a more limited access to vegetation. ⺠Low income is more negatively associated to vegetation than minority status in all models. ⺠There might be other factors contributing to inequities among minority groups. ⺠Disparities are more substantial in street vegetation than in backyard vegetation. ⺠Results suggest more greening efforts in low-income neighbourhoods in order to compensate the lack of public vegetation and mitigate heat island impacts.
