Urban forestry in Sweden from a silvicultural perspective: a review

In the beginning of the 1990s, the ecological aspects of forests in urban areas came more into focus and successively led to parts of the urban forests being given nature conservation status. Based on a classification of the urban forests into five zones, depending on their use and size, future improvements in urban forestry are suggested. The importance of satisfying the urban citizen's needs and demands for urban forestry is emphasised, as is the fact that more research needs to be done on the human aspects, namely, people's perceptions, preferences, expectations, and emotional feelings about urban forests.
