Access to green spaces is essential for promoting public health, reducing inequalities, and fostering urban resilience. This study evaluates the 3-30-300 indicator as a tool assessing space accessibility in Montreal, Canada. The framework sets three goals: every resident should see trees from their home, live neighborhood with at least 30% tree canopy, have park or within 300 m. Using geospatial analysis, this examines how well these criteria are met across Montreal’s neighborhoods investigates disparities linked socio-economic factors. reveals significant variability distribution of Montreal neighborhoods, measured by metric. Tree canopy coverage ranges 0.8% 84%, median 25.7%, while distances parks vary adjacent over 2.4 km. number around residences highly skewed, ranging 0 771, reflecting substantial heterogeneity accessibility. Spatial analysis highlights pronounced only 19.4% meeting all criteria. Hotspots compliance concentrated peri-central well-established residential areas West East, central peripheral especially northeast frequently fail meet standards. These findings underscore strong spatial infrastructure, consistent global studies on inequitable access spaces.
