The study of forestscapes explores the complex relationships between forests, people and cities.
It refers to the way forest ecosystems and urban development are interconnected by diverse social, economic, cultural and environmental processes in different contexts. Forestscapes place emphasis on the diverse meanings and values forests have to different stakeholders, humans and non-human species and the impacts of these relationships on the formation of the urban landscape. Studying Urban Forestscapes allows perspectives on urban forests to be lifted in sustainable urban development issues.
