#trees per person probably is a better metric. Band-filtered population density, as that filters out high frequencies due to local peaks and low frequencies that denote average wealth of a larger neighborhood, may be an even better one. I guess that might even work for extremely high-rise building as in Dubai. Firstly, the lower floors in such buildings typically are offices, and secondly, I guess the really high buildings will stand less close to other high buildings than the lower skyscrapers that surround it.

City center might have very low trees per person. Old, crumbling, partially deserted housing might have high trees per person.
