Abstract

Identifies key evidence themes and evidence gaps and also identifies urban regeneration, place-shaping and making programmes in Great Britain in which trees have played the fundamental role. Comprises an inventory of social evidence and practical programmes relating to trees, woods, forests and urban/peri-urban regeneration, place-making and place-shaping. Looks at evidence concerning six topic areas: accessibility and usage; culture and landscape; health and well-being; local economy and benefit valuation; safety, crime and anti-social behaviour; and social interaction, sense of community and pride.
