Book Synopsis
As our world becomes increasingly urbanized, an understanding of the context, mechanisms, and consequences of city and suburban environments becomes more critical. This title demonstrates the value of urban green. Focusing specifically on the role of vegetation and trees, it shows the costs and benefits reaped from urban open spaces.

Trade Review
"At a time when we all need to approach our shared environmental challenges with an integrative, interdisciplinary perspective, Wilson provides us with a much-needed resource that combines urban ecology, physics, chemistry, and sociology. A must read for anyone seeking to have a positive impact on the places in which we live." (Richard V. Pouyat, US Forest Service)"
