The Urban Tree (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Aimed at developers, urban planners, urban designers, landscape architects and arboriculturists, this book takes a candid look at the benefits that trees provide alongside the threats which are eliminating them from our towns and cities. It takes a simple, applied approach that explores a combination of science and practical experience to help ensure a pragmatic and reasoned approach to decision making, in terms of tree selection, specification, placement and establishment. In this way trees can successfully be incorporated within our urban landscapes so that we can continue to reap the benefits they provide.
