Designing Trees into the Urban Landscape

Healthy urban canopy depends on more than planting trees. This session explores the below-ground conditions that determine long-term tree performance, including soil volume, soil compaction, utilities, pavement integration, irrigation, and root management.

What You’ll Learn

Understand why urban trees succeed or fail in built environments.
Design for adequate soil volume and healthy root development.
Manage conflicts with pavements, utilities, and other underground infrastructure.
Integrate below-ground systems to support long-term tree performance.
Apply best practices using real-world project examples.

The ROI of Mature Urban Trees

Healthy urban trees are critical infrastructure that deliver measurable environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout their lifespan. This session explores how designing for long-term tree health improves climate resilience, reduces lifecycle costs, and creates healthier, more resilient communities.

What You’ll Learn

Quantify the environmental, economic, and social value of mature urban trees.
Understand how tree health influences long-term return on investment.
Explore the role of urban trees in reducing urban heat and improving climate resilience.
Evaluate the benefits of urban trees for stormwater management, air quality, and community wellbeing.
Review real-world project outcomes and case studies that demonstrate long-term value.
