Trees-Gridshell for urban people.
They can provide technical solutions to problems concerning tree vitality in urban areas, but they also need to be trained in tree planning and planting in an urban environment.
Trees in densely populated areas face some daunting challenges: their growth and survival are threatened by space limitations, mediocre soil quality, water inadequacy and nutrient deficiency, to name but a few.
Urban dwellers are increasingly recognizing the importance of trees and other vegetation beyond their visual contribution to the cityscape.
Trees give us so much.
Trees for Cities creates social cohesion and beautifies our cities through tree planting, community-led design, education and training initiatives in urban areas that need it most.
Tree planting is a wonderful way of bringing different communities together around a shared goal.

Studies have shown that patients in hospital rooms with views of trees and plants made fewer requests for pain medication and experienced a speedier recovery following surgery than did patients with views of streets and buildings from their windows.
Residents help choose the trees, shape the designs and implement the plantings.
The average home could save up to a tenth of its annual heating and cooling expenditure with the natural winter insulation and summer shade provided by trees.
We can protect our natural resources and cool our city by using technology to re-create the healthy functions of a forest in an urban setting.
