This book focuses on the politics of street trees and the
institutions, actors and processes that govern their planning,
planting and maintenance. This is an innovative approach which is
particularly important in the context of mounting environmental and
societal challenges and reveals a huge amount about the nature of
modern life, social change and political conflict. The work first
provides different historical perspectives on street trees and
politics, celebrating diversity in different cultures. A second
section discusses street tree values, policy and management,
addressing more contemporary issues of their significance and
contribution to our environment, both physically and
philosophically. It explores cultural idiosyncrasies and those from
the point of view of political economy, particularly challenging
the neo-liberal perspectives that continue to dominate political
narratives. The final section provides case studies of community
engagement, civil action and governance. International case studies
bring together contrasting approaches in areas with diverging
political directions or intentions, the constraints of laws and the
importance of people power. By pursuing an interdisciplinary
approach this book produces an information base for academics,
practitioners, politicians and activists alike, thus contributing
to a fairer political debate that helps to promote more democratic
environments that are sustainable, equitable, comfortable and
healthier.
