This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential role
of trees and forests in cities, and examines the creative
approaches cities around the world are taking to protect trees and
expand their urban forests. Moving beyond the view that trees are
luxuries and therefore non-essential to the life of a city, the
book examines urban tree policies and approaches that foster tree
protection, including tree codes and bylaws, and calls for greater
community engagement to preserve this important facet of urban
life. Through an international range of examples and case studies,
featuring cities in the United States, Canada, Singapore, The
Netherlands, Australia, France, New Zealand, Mexico, Sierra Leone
and the United Kingdom. The book offers best practice examples
where trees have been further integrated into the fabric of urban
planning and design, including forested towers, interior
rainforests, tiny urban forests, and metropolitan forests. Written
by a leading authority in the field, this is a fascinating read for
researchers, students, and practitioners in urban planning,
landscape architecture, and environmental policy and planning.
