The City of Melbourne, Australia has developed a new website Urban Forest Visual that details the location, genus and lifespan of Melbourne's urban forest by precinct.
Melbourne maintains more than 70,000 trees. The interactive tree map allows you to explore Melbourne's tree data and learn more about the life expectancy and diversity of trees in the city.

Cool. I went to Google Street and wandered around a bit. I don't believe I've ever seen a downtown area quite like that, with trees everywhere you look. It's like somebody juxtaposed the yards of an aged suburban neighborhood onto the downtown streets. Getting them to grow properly in the "steel canyons" is obviously quite a challenge, but they've done an impressive job of it in most areas.
