This book provides a first overview of the phemonemon of post-industrial urban wilderness: urban landscapes once shaped by heavy industry that are being re-colonized naturally by forests. These new types of urban woodlands are often overlooked by ecologists, foresters and planners. Individual chapters consider urban woodlands from the perspectives of ecology, environmental sociology, forestry, nature conservation and landscape architecture.

Amsterdamse Bos, Bois de Boulognes, Epping Forest, Hong Kong’s country parks, Stanley Park: throughout history cities across the world have developed close relationships with nearby woodland areas. In some cases, cities have even developed – and in some cases are promoting – a distinct ‘forest identity’. This book introduces the rich heritage of these city forests as cultural landscapes, and shows that cities and forests can be mutually beneficial. Essential reading for students and researchers interested in urban sustainability and urban forestry, this book also has much wider appeal. For with city forests playing an increasingly important role in local government sustainability programs, it provides an important reference for those involved in urban planning and decision making, public affairs and administration, and even public health. From providers of livelihoods to healthy recreational environments, and from places of inspiration and learning to a source of conflict, the book presents examples of city forests from around the world. These cases clearly illustrate how the social and cultural development of towns and forests has often gone hand in hand. They also reveal how better understanding of city forests as distinct cultural and social phenomena can help to strengthen synergies both between cities and forests, and between urban society and nature.

The decline of the Industrial City resulted in the emergence of spontaneous nature on sites where frequent use can no longer be maintained. The emergent typology, the Wild Urban Woodland, infiltrates the fractured peripheries of once dense cities. The process, known as natural, ecological, or forest succession, emerges as a product of regional cultural and environmental specificities. The vegetation associated with the process is a clear indicator and constant reminder of the social, economic and cultural transformations that resulted in its occurrence. The Wild Urban Woodland is an embodiment of the place-based characteristics in which it emerges, thus in this new wilderness is the potential to create a culturally significant and self-reflective landscape while embracing the biological and educational benefits of its urban proximity. This thesis investigates the emergence of Wild Urban Woodlands on the once actively occupied, ascended, and descended Cincinnati Hillsides, where a once culturally significant landscape has been detrimentally altered by the transformations in the urban structure. Yet, in this emergent typology is the potential for education, recreation, and the development of an environmental ethic necessary for the growth of future biophilic cities. This thesis proposes a type of urban architecture integrated with the successional landscape; light rather than heavy, permeable to vegetation and nature, and responsive to the environmental specificities of the site, as much as to the adjacent urban and cultural context.

The primary role of urban forestry is to provide woodland and trees which improve the quality of daily life for those of us in the UK who do not have immediate access to the countryside. Urban forestry is becoming increasingly recognized as a discipline in its own right but those involved come from many backgrounds and disciplines, ranging from planning through landscape design and horticulture to forestry. This guide presents practical information on the process of urban woodland planning, establishment and management.
