Content Description

Top-Down Design for Green Streets, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: CG-EN-157405-0125

Citygreen Systems International Trees are essential for the health of the urban environment, mitigating the heat island effect, cleaning the air, reducing stormwater runoff, and improving residents' health and well-being. But cities are often inhospitable to trees, where their growth may be stunted or their roots may damage surrounding infrastructure. This course explores ways to design successful projects incorporating green infrastructure by understanding the principles behind tree growth, proper type and amount of soil, water management, and the role of soil vault systems in helping urban trees thrive. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how trees help reduce the impact of the urban heat island effect, stormwater runoff, and air pollution while enhancing the health of the ecosystem and its inhabitants.
  • Describe the considerations for soil volume and specification that ensure proper growth and a healthy tree canopy and the benefits of soil vaults in supporting pavement and providing space for tree roots and service pipes
  • Discuss the role and types of pavements, the benefits of porous pavements to urban trees, and the importance of pavement design and construction that accommodates expected loads while providing large volumes of uncompacted soil for root growth below.
  • Design a tree pit structure and pavement that recreates natural surroundings so the root system can access rainfall, predevelopment flows are restored, and stormwater is cleaned.

Faculty BIO

As a horticulture/design enthusiast, Steve has always had an interest in watching landscapes unfold. It was a somewhat natural path that would lead to him changing the world one streetscape at a time by helping trees to thrive in urban areas where currently they are failing. It was during his time as a Landscape Architect at LA West in Calgary, AB that Steve realized trees in cities weren't performing as well as they should. A better solution was needed, so Steve decided to join his colleagues at Citygreen, North America.
