Abstract

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, of 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.

Abstract

What if vegetation surged in our cities, transforming them into true, flora-rich forests? What would be the resulting urban ecosystems? The Green Dip, an ongoing research project conducted by The Why Factory at Delft University of Technology, is a visual manifesto that examines greening solutions for cities and studies the architectural trategies used to incorporate vegetation into buildings. The Green Dip imagines a worldwide urban forest — from Beijing to Singapore, Dubai, Moscow, Kinshasa, Paris, New York, or Sao Paulo. It proposes a database of plant species for designers to easily incorporate into their buildings and dreams of a software to assist in this process. The Green Dip takes a global perspective, understanding that different climates provide specific environments for native species to thrive. It proposes a method to calculate environmental benefits and estimate the planetary impacts of greening in our cities. Amid the climate emergency, The Green Dip is a manifesto for reintroducing nature into our homes and transforming our relationship with the environment. It demonstrates that agriculture, forestry, and organic production can catalyse alternative approaches to urbanisation.
