The urban forest contributes to the improvement of the air quality, through the removal of its pollutants and carbon dioxide absorption, mitigation of noise pollution, improvement of the temperature, water quality and hydrological cycle, urban ground and benefits such as real estate valuation and stress reduction.

Hi,

From the environmental perspective, you may wish to check various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which focuses on urban forests. Such include: IPCC Fifth Assessment Report The Role of Forests

Concerning urban forest management, you may like to check this report as well: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Urban Forests: A Framework for Sustainable Urban Forest Management http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.388.4681&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Also, A framework for adapting urban forests to climate change - https://www.fs.fed.us/nrs/pubs/jrnl/2016/nrs_2016_Brandt_001.pdf

This is a very interesting question. An irony to notice that the few forest in urban areas (meant to improve the air quality among others) keeps being pulled down and developed into residential and commercial centers.

This article takes a good approach to human comfort provided by urban trees:

This other link is from a very interesting project called "Treepedia". This is the Green Viewing Index (GVI) estimate, based on Google Maps imagery, the index represents the perception of tree cover in large cities based on trees that people see when walking. The site also provides a wealth of information on the benefits of trees in cities: http://senseable.mit.edu/treepedia
