English: The title of this figure is “Urban Greenness, top 5 large urban population centres.” It provides a visual representation of urban greenness for three years (2001, 2011 and 2019) in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

This figure includes a legend and 20 images. The legend contains four categories: Grey pixel = NDVI < 0.5, Green pixel = NDVI ≥ 0.5, Yellow border = population centre limits (2016), Blue pixel = Water.

Images are organized in five rows, one row per population centre, and four columns. The first row shows images for Toronto, the second row shows images for Montreal, the third shows images for Vancouver, the fourth shows images for Calgary, and the fifth shows images for Edmonton.

The first three columns organize images for 2001, 2011 and 2019. These images display pixels that are classified as green or grey based on the MODIS NDVI cutoff of 0.5. The final column displays a true colour image from Sentinel-2 from 2019, with a scale and compass arrow indicating north as reference information. A yellow line outlines the population centre on all images.

This figure shows the share of each population centre that was classified as green was lowest in 2019.
