Argues for using trees as living components to shape urban landscapes, rather than herding them into parks where artificial pastoral structures try to hide the city. The second edition includes new chapters on recently improved urban tree-planting techniques, and the economics and management of urban forestry. For architects and designers.

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.

Street trees provide cities with a range of social, economic and environmental benefits, with large, mature trees providing the maximum benefits. Street trees can be conceptualized as a form of 'green infrastructure', delivering a range of environmental and human services alongside the 'grey infrastructure' of conventional engineering services. However street trees face an extremely hostile environment in the city and may struggle to survive and grow. These challenges are exacerbated by 'unsustainable' streetscape design and tree planting practices, such as planting trees in undersized tree pits dug in compacted urban soils, and surrounding trees with hard impervious surroundings. These practices often result in declining tree health, reduced tree life spans, increased tree mortality and also conflicts between trees and surrounding infrastructure. This thesis aims to develop a more sustainable model for urban streetscape design and street tree planting practices in Australian cities, which better integrates the needs of street trees, based on the expert opinions of researchers and practitioners in the field. A mixed-method research strategy was adopted, using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. A detailed literature review of current tree planting practices was undertaken covering the following topics: providing space both above and below ground; providing trees with the resources for growth; and minimizing a range of infrastructure conflicts. The views of a variety of professionals across Australia were then collected using various techniques. These included an Australia-wide online survey of local government practitioners to address the wider picture, and in-depth interviews with practitioners in metropolitan Adelaide, to provide a detailed understanding of the issues. Detailed case studies were also conducted in four Australian capital cities, including interviews with local luminaries, to review current 'best practice' techniques and policies for street tree planting. The outcome of this research is presented as a new paradigm for the more sustainable urban tree planting and management practices, entitled 'Tree Sensitive Urban Design' (TSUD). A proposed "Model for TSUD" draws upon the practices identified in the thesis research, and recommends that the management of urban trees should move from an engineering-based approach to streetscape design, to considering street trees as an essential part of the city. The 'Model for TSUD' presented includes a set of objectives, planning and design principles, and a set of 'structural' and 'nonstructural' best practices to accommodate street trees.

Many if not most urban forestry successes and failures begin at the planning stage. The intent of this design manual is to replace as many of the subjective decisions made during street tree design and plant selection with objective criteria. The manual will assist communities and planners to not only select the best trees for their available planting sites, but to use specific principles of street tree design to most effectively create public green spaces, positively affect traffic patterns, and create healthy living spaces. The format of the design manual is one of prompting questions. This will not only help the user select the best plants for the area, but will pose sufficient questions to better ensure that issues of spacing, relative placement to travel corridors, and a wide variety of design elements will be satisfied. The tree species selection philosophy includes not only whether the tree is hardy enough but whether it can achieve the design function for the area. In theory, a well-placed tree in a well-designed landscape will require less maintenance and yield more rewards for the community.

A fascinating and beautifully illustrated volume that explains what street trees tell us about humanity’s changing relationship with nature and the city Today, cities around the globe are planting street trees to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, as landscape historian Sonja Dümpelmann explains, this is not a new phenomenon. In her eye-opening work, Dümpelmann shows how New York City and Berlin began systematically planting trees to improve the urban climate during the nineteenth century, presenting the history of the practice within its larger social, cultural, and political contexts. A unique integration of empirical research and theory, Dümpelmann’s richly illustrated work uncovers this important untold story. Street trees—variously regarded as sanitizers, nuisances, upholders of virtue, economic engines, and more—reflect the changing relationship between humans and nonhuman nature in urban environments. Offering valuable insights and frameworks, this authoritative volume will be an important resource for years to come.

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.
