Urban Treescape is a green infrastructure term specifically referring to numbers, species, health, maintenance, appearance and benefits of publicly and privately owned trees or forests in the urban setting. Trees can impact a variety of characteristics of the urban realm such as water retention, air quality, biodiversity, climate adaptation, resilience, heat islands, health, safety, urban psychology and more. The incorporation of trees in urban development can extend beyond specification for landscape architecture expanding to buildings them selves such as has been seen with the Bosco Verticale in Milan. As such understanding the correct specification and location of trees is crucial to the long term success in the urban realm.
