摘要
In urban sustainability, the intersection of climate change, environmental shifts, and the resilience of urban ecosystems emerges as a pivotal focal point. This chapter delves into the forefront of this intricate and dynamic landscape. As cities worldwide confront escalating impacts of climate change, surging population densities, and mounting environmental pressures, the urgency to enhance the resilience of urban forests grows ever more critical. This chapter explores state-of-the-art strategies, inherent challenges, and innovative solutions that improve urban forest resilience. Moreover, it analyzes the complex terrain of urban forestry, including tactics utilized to bolster resilience, obstacles encountered during implementation, and transformative innovations shaping the trajectory of urban ecosystems. The insights gleaned may aid urban planners and policymakers in advancing urban forest resilience and providing sustainable solutions that harmonize with the evolving dynamics of our urban environments.
