Urban trees in cities can help clean the air and cool down hot areas. A study in Baltimore used computer models to figure out the best places to plant trees for these benefits. They found that different areas need different types of trees to get the most benefits. This can help city planners and tree experts decide where to plant trees to make cities healthier and more comfortable for people.
