Les arbres au secours de nos villes. À l’heure du réchauffement climatique, des étés caniculaires, l’arbre est devenu un enjeu vital et politique, autant qu’esthétique, pour nos villes et territoires urbanisés. Les appels à planter se multiplient : forêts urbaines, densification, transplantation de vieux arbres, etc. Réalisés dans la précipitation, ces projets de verdissement sont trop souvent nocifs pour les arbres et contre-productifs pour nos villes. De l'air, de la terre, du temps ! Cet ouvrage nous invite à mieux comprendre le rôle et les exigences de nos arbres de compagnie. Il donne les clés pour réagir aux effets de mode, afin de ramener du bon sens dans notre rapport aux arbres. Il est urgent d’agir en toute connaissance pour que nos arbres s’épanouissent sans entraves, donnent le meilleur d’eux-mêmes et fassent patrimoine.

"What is the best way to design with greenery? What are the benefits of selecting one species of tree over another, and placing it at Point A instead of Point B? Will it cost more than the benefits it provides? If you have ever asked these questions, this book is for you.Greenery is an integral part of the sustainable planning and design ethos. Besides beautifying the environment, it can also help alleviate adverse impacts of urbanisation such as the Urban Heat Island effect. This book provides an introduction to the various technologies and techniques that facilitate the urban greening process. Each chapter introduces the concept of urban greenery at different scales (city, precinct and plant), as well as relevant methods and considerations for implementation. Assessment frameworks are provided to maximise the benefits of greenery, whilst minimising disservices associated with poor planning, execution or maintenance of greenery or greenery systems. Simple exercises and online resources are provided to illustrate how concepts from this book can be applied in practice.This textbook is essential reading for anyone interested in urban greenery and how it can make a tangible positive impact on our built environment: from students in the architecture, landscape architecture and building construction disciplines, to urban planners, building owners, designers and facility managers who wish to make more informed choices when incorporating greenery into the urban environment during the planning, design, construction and maintenance stages"
