About this ebook
Urban Trees explores the vital role of trees in our cities, arguing they are essential infrastructure, not mere decorations. The book dives into how urban forestry contributes to healthier and more sustainable urban environments, emphasizing the importance of integrating trees strategically into urban planning. Trees, for instance, act as natural air filters, mitigating pollution and improving air quality, while their shade helps combat the urban heat island effect.
The book progresses by first establishing the ecological context, detailing how trees function biologically and interact with their environment. It then examines the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of urban forestry, showcasing benefits like improved mental health and increased property values.
Finally, it addresses practical aspects of tree management, offering best practices for selection, planting, and maintenance. By presenting evidence-based decision-making, Urban Trees aims to equip readers with the knowledge needed to advocate for sustainable urban forestry initiatives, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and environmental advocates.
