Trees in towns and squares

Trees make a significant contribution to the natural balance in the built environment. Climate change, extreme heat and drought alternated with excessive rainfall make ever greater demands on the urban environment. Squares give a city or village an identity. Trees and other plants make a significant contribution to the experience, identity and the use of those squares. They define the atmosphere and appearance and provide a relaxed and shady place where users can just recharge. They define the atmosphere and appearance and provide a relaxed and shady place where users can just recharge.

Squares are a place of tranquillity amid the maze of streets and buildings in urban environments and give identity to a city or village. With their characteristic shape, colour, structure and size, trees and other plants make a major contribution to the experience, identity and use of squares. They determine the atmosphere and appearance and offer users a relaxed and shady place to recharge their batteries. Functionally, greenery is also an important structuring element in the design.
