Tree Canopy in Streets

Allan B. Jacobs

Jacobs identifies that trees lining streets promote environmental comfort, aesthetic appeal, and a sense of enclosure.

Context

Urban areas requiring improved environmental conditions and pedestrian comfort.

Problem

Stark and treeless streets lack shade, reduce aesthetic value, and expose pedestrians to the elements.

Solution

Plant trees along streets to provide shade, aesthetic value, and create a more enclosed, welcoming environment for pedestrians.
