Land Uses, Neighborhood Satisfaction and the Urban Forest
New approaches to urban design have included the concept of walkable
communities as a means to reduce suburbia's dependence on vehicles. Studies
have shown that when extensive tree and shrub cover is provided (the urban
forest) within residential areas,in particular those adjacent to retail land
uses, neighbourhood satisfaction increases. Perhaps development regulations
should provide for more urban forest.
