The Urban Forest in the Age of Urbanization seeks to reflect on the
connotation of urban forestry in line with related emergent
holistic theories. Today, much of the planet is urbanised and
planners debate "Planetary Urbanization", economists discuss "The
Global City", ecologists describe the planet's biodiversity
hotspots, and climate scientists warn of a "global" crisis. We
might think therefore that focusing on forestation approaches at
the Urban and peri-urban "edge", might be reductionist. However, if
the city is everywhere, and everything is a city, if the urbanised
world now is a chain of metropolitan areas connected by places and
corridors of communication, then what is not urban? And above all,
which forests are not urban forests? Starting from the dualism
between city and forest and its evolution towards holism, the book
seeks to create a framework of dialectical approaches. The case
studies included analyse a wide range of urbanisation "processes"
to review the practical approaches of urban forestry, in line with
the global crisis of the era of globalisation, when climate change,
population growth, implosions and explosions of urbanisation, lack
of arable land and food are unavoidable.
