Summary:

As cities become larger and more complex, trees may exist in them through careful design, poor design, or by accident. Urban Forestry: Planning and Managing Urban Greenspaces, Second Edition addresses how to carefully and successfully plan for and manage urban vegetation. With its numerous photos, tables, line drawings, graphs, and charts, this new edition contains up-to-date information on the history and uses of urban vegetation, appraisal and inventories, the planning process, and management and maintenance. Another important feature is the book's nine appendices, which offer valuable information covering a broad range of topics from A Disaster Plan for Oak Park, Illinois to Tree Walks in Madison, Wisconsin.
