However, as landscape historian Sonja Dmpelmann explains, the planting of street trees in cities to serve specific functions is not a new phenomenon. In her eyeopening work, Dmpelmann shows how New York City and Berlin began systematically planting trees to improve the urban climate during the nineteenth century, presenting the history of the practice within its larger social, cultural, and political contexts.A unique integration of empirical research and theory, Dmpelmanns richly illustrated work uncovers this important untold story.

Offering valuable insights and frameworks, this authoritative volume will be an important resource for years to come.
