forestry and the growing evidence of its importance to healthy, sustainable, and livable cities. Dr Konijnendijk explores the cross disciplinary skills urban foresters need to meet the challenges of future cities in what he describes as “Urban Forestry 2.0”.

explores how a shift in traditional medical interventions to social and physical environmental interventions can benefit future cities. Can forests and natural environments heal our cities? Can we reduce our need for pharmaceutical drugs? Dr Van den Bosch
gives an overview of existing research correlating natural environments with positive health benefits and explores the future implications.</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

some of the major achievements – and failures. Dr Konijnendijk takes a critical look at urban forestry’s role in current and future cities, highlighting the contributions of urban forests to bioculturally diverse and resilient cities. Lessons will be drawn
for the future of urban forestry science, policy and practice in Canada – the country where the term ‘urban forestry’ was coined, but where its coming of age has been troublesome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
