This is actually useful for finding parks.
No more than a regular map, as the trees in big parks don't have a mark: https://imgur.com/a/HIfFZTd

#13not sure it's "current trees" as the dataset was created 5 years ago.

#14When I was in my early 20s (late '90s) I was lucky enough to spend a month in Barcelona with my future wife. It remains one of my all-time favorite cities in the world. I'll never forget walking its tree-lined streets to the sea.

Re: All the current trees in Barcelona
#17There is an app called Urban Trees ( https://urbantrees.app/ ) based on open data of several cities. With the app you get an AR view of the trees around you, with their labels etc. They currently have data from Barcelona, Bristol, Clark County, Edmonton, Frankfurt, Las Vegas, London, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Portland, Rostock, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Seattle, Vancouver, Washington DC, Vienna and Zurich.
this is a great resource!
I visited Granada, Spain recently and learned from a guide how a particular type of tree is planted along Gran Via specifically to absorb radiation and pollution off the streets. I cannot recall the name for the type of tree.
I sure hope Urban Trees can expand to include more and more cities so that we can learn more about the plants in cities across the world and some of the interesting perspective on urban planning!

#1950 years from now, will cities provide "APIs" for residents to query & access city data and services? will i be able to "REST" some "JSON" telling me when the tree around the corner that my dog likes best was last watered? i would love this. note: "quotes" used because who knows what interfaces will be the saveurs du jour, then.
Lots of cities now have open data. Paris (France), for example, has both fixed datasets and real-time ones: https://opendata.paris.fr/

My city (third largest in Spain) already has APIs for querying static and real-time data: http://gobiernoabierto.valencia.es/en/info-api/
