Hattie Hartman looks back at an uplifting week for urban trees and a new way of experiencing architecture

摘要

This week is all about trees. The second Trees, People and the Built Environment conference took place over two days at the University of Birmingham with close to 400 people gathered to promote the cause of trees in UK cities. The conference title may seem long, but more than 20 organisations from the green space and built environment sectors have partnered to make this event happen. The critical role of trees in cities is often forgotten because they have no clear champion in the urban development process.
