Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024Urban forestry plans became an essential integrated tool in urban planning to promote adaptation and mitigation policies and strategies in contemporary cities. This contribution presents a selection of plans developed in different countries, applying a structured critical interpretation to bring out and compare innovative elements and weaknesses to trigger a challenging comparison between American and European cities. This work frames the Forestami research project within the international urban forestry context to measure its impact and relevance and to address further activities. The research reveals a heterogeneous approach and results by countries due to different political and cultural contexts to define which are the critical elements that each plan should use to contribute to the sustainable development of the territory.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject3208-3221
