This is an opportunity for researchers, practitioners, educators and planners working in cities all around the world to come together, exchange ideas and create partnerships. With urban populations surpassing 50% worldwide proper city planning, specifically enhancing green space, should be a priority.

Learn from some of the country’s leading experts about innovative efforts to plant, protect and preserve trees in urban and suburban settings. Trees provide many benefits: they cleanse and cool our air, stabilize our soils, provide wildlife habitat and beautify our urban and suburban areas. We encourage all arborists, landscape industry and environmental/green industry professionals, engineers, designers, housing developers and interested citizens to take advantage of this opportunity to learn new techniques and concepts on what can be done to ensure the survival of trees in our built environment
