CANOPY & CONCRETE: THE HIDDEN LIFE OF URBAN TREES

Canopy & Concrete: The Hidden Life of Urban Trees unveils the silent heroes of our cities-trees that cool streets, clean air, and sustain life. From Delhi's ancient neems to Bengaluru's vanishing Pongamia, this book blends science, history, and activism to expose their irreplaceable role. Discover how Chennai's flood-fighting trees and Pune's citizen-led census offer hope, while metro projects and weak laws threaten their survival. Packed with case studies, it equips planners and citizens to defend urban forests. A rallying cry for greener cities, this book proves trees aren't just amenities-they're lifelines. The future of our cities grows in their shade.
