DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nNature access is increasingly recognised as a pu
 blic health and equity imperative\, yet cities lack standardised ways to m
 easure who benefits from green infrastructure. We present the first nation
 al\, building-level assessment of the 3–30–300 urban greening rule acr
 oss England\, integrating high-performance computing with open LiDAR and g
 eospatial datasets. Our framework quantifies proximity\, availability\, an
 d accessibility of greenery\, linking each to socioeconomic deprivation th
 rough Gini-based inequality metrics. Results reveal that while most Englis
 h residents meet the tree visibility criterion\, only 0.1\\% of urban area
 s meet all three thresholds\; canopy cover and park access sharply diverge
  along deprivation lines. Wealthier areas enjoy greater ambient greenness\
 , whereas deprived urban cores often have better proximity to parks but lo
 wer vegetation density. The study offers a scalable computational blueprin
 t for assessing nature equity and demonstrates that green accessibility re
 presents a new dimension of socioeconomic inequality. These findings call 
 for policy approaches that move beyond proximity metrics toward equitable\
 , quality-based standards for nature access.\n\n*Bio*\n\nAndrés is a 3rd 
 year PhD student in the Department of Architecture at the University of Ca
 mbridge. His research interests lie in using machine learning and mathemat
 ical methods on geospatial data to quantify the effect of urban nature in 
 sustainability.
