  • Effects of Trees in Urban Spaces, Auroville, India

    A presentation I gave providing a brief glimpse into the effects that trees have on our lives and surroundings in an urban setting.

    Presentation starts at 3:30.

    Recently, in urban settings, trees are being used more as green infrastructure providing ecosystem services rather than merely street furniture. This presentation illustrates some ways in which this applies.

    This presentation uses examples from the U.S, the U.K. and from India, where I am based. It includes the positive and negative effects and ways to improve matters with existing trees as well as potential trees. It is based on experience and research from around the world.

    This is relevant for architects, town planners, municipal corporations, engineers, landscapers and anybody interested in improving urban forests through arboriculture.
