Trees are, however, under threat today as never before due to competition for space imposed by development, other hard infrastructures, increased pressure on the availability of financial provision from local authorities and a highly cautious approach to risk management in a modern litigious society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is, therefore, incumbent upon all of us in construction and urban design disciplines to pursue a set of goals that not only preserve existing trees where we can, but also ensure that new plantings are appropriately specified and detailed to enable their successful establishment and growth to productive maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAimed at developers, urban planners, urban designers, landscape architects and arboriculturists, \u003cem\u003eThe Urban Tree\u003c\/em\u003e takes a candid look at the benefits that trees provide alongside the threats that 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608186962156,"sku":"9780415702461","price":134.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a0f6bd06ae991fba0f80af8b0adf8703.jpg?v=1778202548"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/duncan-goodwin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
