Urban environments are shaped by a variety of environmental and social factors, with urban trees playing a key role in enhancing quality of life, microclimatic comfort, and the visual character of the city. Despite growing international attention to trees as an urban asset with public and economic value, research in the Israeli context remains limited, particularly at detailed spatial scales.

This study examines the relationship between tree canopy cover and housing prices across three Israeli cities: Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Be’er Sheva, through an integration of real-estate transaction data, GIS-based spatial analysis, and hedonic pricing models. The multi-scalar approach, which includes analyses at the city, quarter, and statistical-area levels and across three buffer radii around each transaction, provides insight into how trees interact with the built environment and how different urban characteristics shape their role in residential property value.
