Features: As humans who have stepped out of the forest finally realize the consequences of nature's punishment, the concept of "urban development must coexist with nature" and the idea of "introducing forests into cities and building cities in forests" are gradually accepted. Thus, from the mid-1960s, a specialized branch emerged - Urban Forestry. China began to recognize and introduce Urban Forestry in the late 1980s and early 1990s and quickly made some progress, aiming to further promote the development of Urban Forestry in China to accelerate the environmental construction of urban areas. At the same time, the publication of this book can also meet the needs of university and college teachers for reference on their desks and students for professional reference. This book is divided into ten chapters, discussing the concept of Urban Forestry, its historical background, current development status, the functions of Urban Forestry, the characteristics of urban populations and environments, urban landscape ecology, the cultivation of urban forests, the protection and management of urban wildlife, and the utilization of urban forests, among other topics.
