Description

Trees in the City provides an introduction to the process of humanizing the cityscape and guide to planting trees in city conditions. This book focuses on four basic concepts. First, trees play an essential role in human's urban life.

Second, people must become aware of the environmental, esthetic, social, and political importance of trees.

Third, trees need to be integrated with the pattern and function of urban activity.

Finally, the design, placement, and maintenance of trees on city streets are the responsibility of everyone in the community. The topics discussed include a short history of trees in the city; environmental and esthetic relation of trees, human, and the city; tree choices and features; and designing a city street-models, problems, and matrixes. This publication is beneficial to landscape architects and individuals interested in tree planting in urban areas.
