摘要
Many urban development processes, supported by land-use planning, negatively impact urban trees. Urban forest strategies are one approach local governments take to protect and increase urban trees. We evaluate connections between urban forest strategies and land-use planning to achieve tree cover on private property, through a review of 18 Australian local government strategies. We highlight the importance of state-level policies for local land-use planning, and conclude that if state-level land-use planning is to aid the protection and enhancement of urban trees, more active engagement with and explicit links to urban forest strategies at both local and state levels is needed.许多城市的开发过程以土地使用规划为主导,对城市中的树木产生了负面影响。地方政府可以采取城市造林策略,保护和增加城市里的树木。本文评估了澳大利亚18 个地方政府的策略,考察城市造林策略和土地规划与私有地产上树木覆盖率的关系。我们强调州政府的政策对地方土地使用和增进城市树木具有重要影响,地方政府和州政府两个层面都需要更积极地参与城市造林策略。 KEYWORDS: Urban forest, land-use planning, local government, private property, policy, urban greeningAdditional informationFundingThis research is supported by the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program through the Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
