- Here’s the one thing your town can do right now that makes the most difference in the public realm: Plant street trees. With photos and video from around the world, urban design expert Victor Dover introduces the innumerable benefits of urban street trees to people, the environment, and the economy. Street tree canopies form the ceiling of our shared public rooms, creating a sense of enclosure, comfort, completeness, confidence, and safety.

I am so excited to be working with this group for our downtown Lake Wales revitalization! Street Trees!!
Thanks for your encouragement and enthusiasm, Leigh Ann. Lots of implementation work is underway for Lake Wales in 2021, including the Park Avenue makeover, an overhaul of important zoning provisions that affect downtown, and a street tree planting program for the Northwest Neighborhood. To you, what's your nominee for the most important street tree in Lake Wales?
Iam also join with but i can't cause iam from India love U guys ❤️
Petition to add more Street Trees! :)) love this series
Adding street trees is probably the best thing you can do to improve a street. And in most cases, it's cheaper that most other interventions.
Great job sir from India ❤️❤️❤️
Can you please comment on biodiversity and monocultures? Does it make a difference if the street trees were grown from seed or if they are a cultivar that is a clone when it comes to potential pests that can threaten the life of the tree?
So true!! I’m in OKC Oklahoma. Getting into developing and all the new neighborhoods going in the past decade, all the trees were cut down and cookie cutter neighborhood streets laid. No attention to detail or care for the environment. Back in the day, developers would only cut down what trees they had to build a structure. Not level the ground.
Thanks for that example. A story repeated all over our continent, isn't it, unfortunately? One good thing about the Wheeler District in OKC is that, since there were few trees on the old airport property, we're *adding* trees with development, not subtracting them! www.doverkohl.com/wheeler
@@vdoverhokie victor are you the developer on this project? I had no idea anything was going in there. I’m in mustang, would love to check it out.
Tyler, we're the neighborhood designers. The developer is Blair Humphreys.
Nothing uglier than neighborhoods without an ample supply of mature beautiful trees especially in the summer when it's hot .
Trees are our Lifelines
isn't there a risk of it falling on houses or in the streets?
Victor, you are the GOAT!
See Brasília, Brazil😉
Thanks for commenting. What do you have in mind about Brasilia, specifically?
@@vdoverhokie Brasília is a young city, it is the third capital of Brazil and was built in just 5 years (1957-1960). At the time the automobile was associated with development, so it has wide avenues. They say that Brasilia was inspired in some architectural aspects in Moscow, because the engineer Oscar Niemeyer was of the Brazilian communist party. Brasília is separated into sectors such as: hospital sector, residential sector, commercial sector. Brasília has the largest urban park in Latin America with 420 hectares (Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek). The city has an avant-garde aspect with exposed concrete buildings, but it is also the most wooded city in the Americas, there are fruit trees in all public spaces and it is common for residents to pick up mangoes, jackfruit. Brasília looks like a painting during the flowering of the Ipe trees. In the aspect of urban mobility we have a lot of potential, as it is a flat city and on Sundays the biggest avenues close for leisure. Brasília was declared by UNESCO a cultural heritage of humanity with only 27 years of existence. Finally, I recommend visiting the link with the model "quadra", 308 Sul, located in Asa Sul, Brasília is shaped like an airplane and is divided between Asa Sul and Asa Norte.

Ps - I am not a historian, but as I am from Brasília, I love my city and urban and mobility issues are elements of interest to me.
Beautifully explained.
Good for you that you stand by Ukraine. By the way....what side have you taken in Israel- Palestinian conflict? Make sure you update the picture to keep up with times. Remember- Silence is violence.
@@igorkratka War against Ukraine hasn't ended yet. I'll update it when Ukraine is free and I see fit..
What's it to you how I stand on any other matter? When I choose to manifest my position, I will, wherever I choose.
If I'm silent or not is for me to know and you to find out. This thread is not the place for that.
Go bully someone else for your agendas.
