Bangalore is bigger than New York City and this note below illustrates where we are:
The Central Park in New York City canopy has 26,000 trees — elms, maples, oaks and others — just a fraction of the estimated 2 million trees in all city parks, an additional 600,000 on city streets and 2.5 million on private property — and features the type of obsessive manicuring more suggestive of a well-tended backyard than the Northeastern wilderness. The trees here are maintained with an annual tree care budget of $637,000 by the Central Park Conservancy, which did not return calls for comment
