Download or read book The Politics of Street Trees written by Jan Woudstra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Modeling Street Trees on a Statewide Basis in New York State written by Frederick D. Cowett and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street trees are an integral component of livable, healthy communities providing ecosystem benefits and social and aesthetic amenities. Street tree inventory data provides detailed information about the structure and health of a street tree population and facilitates effective planning and management. Most communities lack an inventory, however, and the patchwork of data at the state level makes planning and management of urban and community forestry difficult for state officials. This dissertation proposes a methodology using street tree inventory data stratified and weighted by 1990 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone classes to estimate New York State's prevalent street tree species and genera, quantify statewide benefits provided by street trees, and identify statewide trends in the urban forest. Methods used are replicable by other states so officials in those states can obtain similar information. Based on this methodology, Acer was found to be New York State's most prevalent street tree genus and Acer platanoides its most prevalent street tree species. Street tree numbers were estimated for the most prevalent genera and species. Species diversity increased with milder climate, but was found to be insufficient statewide, suggesting vulnerability to invasive pests such as the Asian Longhorned Beetle and Emerald Ash Borer. Analysis of trunk diameter profiles indicated an aging street tree population statewide requiring an increase in new plantings to maintain street tree numbers at current levels. Statistics for the youngest trees revealed increased plantings of small sized tree species relative to plantings of large and medium sized tree species regardless of overhead utility wires and planting location types. Benefits provided per street tree as calculated by i-Tree software did not vary by 1990 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone class, but significant differences were found by zone class in the number of street trees planted per unit of street length . Subsequent to preliminary findings, a number of test street tree inventories were conducted to evaluate whether statistics and trends at the zone class level would be found for the test inventories also. Test inventory statistics did not agree completely with preliminary statistics, but did confirm differences and trends found at the zone class level.

Download or read book Rural by Design written by Randall Arendt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For America’s rural and suburban areas, new challenges demand new solutions. Author Randall Arendt meets them in an entirely new edition of Rural by Design. When this planning classic first appeared 20 years ago, it showed how creative, practical land-use planning can preserve open space and keep community character intact. The second edition shifts the focus toward infilling neighborhoods, strengthening town centers, and moving development closer to schools, shops, and jobs. New chapters cover form-based codes, visioning, sustainability, low-impact development, green infrastructure, and more, while 70 case studies show how these ideas play out in the real world. Readers —rural or not—will find practical advice about planning for the way we live now.

Download or read book The Road to a Thoughtful Street Tree Master Plan written by Ken Simons and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
