Street trees — how commonly is a new tree planted to replace the one that’s cut down? (slrpnk.net)

At least in the US, I never seem to see a new tree show up.

Almost always in Portugal. Like someone else commented, it does hurt a bit to cut a maybe 50 old tree for one that is 10-15cm in diameter but in some cases I understand, some others I don't and feels like a crime but yeah most are replanted. Most cities and towns don't really want barren streets due to extreme heat in the summer. If anything they plant more trees to fight it.
