The Forest And The City: The Cultural Landscape Of Urban Woodland - Cecil C. Konijnendijk

From the reviews:

"This book offers a detailed … exploration of the relationship between forest and cities. … Summing Up: Recommended. Public and professional libraries." (S. Hammer, Choice, Vol. 46 (5), January, 2009)

"The book looks at city forests primarily from a cultural and social perspective but also … provide an important reference for those involved in urban planning and decision marking, public affairs and administration, and even public health. … the book is well-researched and makes a significant contribution to the urban forestry sector and a fundamental reading for students and researchers interested in urban sustainability and urban forestry, but it’s also essential for those involved in the national and local government sustainability programs." (Francesco Ferrini, Advances in Horticultural Science, Vol. 23 (1), 2009)

“As its title suggests, this book explores the relationships between cities and forests. … throughout the book there are numerous references to non-European city–forest relations, particularly those in North America. … this is a timely volume. It integrates narrative, historical and academic analysis, and is concisely written and well illustrated. It is an enjoyable read and a welcome addition to the usual academic and forestry literature.” (Lawrence Kitchen, Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning, Vol. 12 (1), March, 2010)
