You're probably not going to save 95% of the trees given the major earthworks likely needed for managing sewage, stormwater, and other utilities. You'll probably save most of them, though.

40k looks pretty optimistic for the size and number of buildings, too.

I was wondering that too... maybe they meant: plant new trees, and the total number of new trees would be 95% of the number of old trees?

I’m guessing they’re just not aware of construction impacts on trees. It’s not something most people think about.

I supposed they meant "And this amount of space is still available for greenery" rather than "These, specific, trees will be preserved"
