Kateřina Vídenová: About the Trees in the Streets - Lecture at Fiducia

The lecture and presentation of the book of interviews addresses the important topic of trees in urban environments and reveals its contexts.
There are many manuals on how to properly plant trees in streets. However, the problem, according to many experts, is the lack of a comprehensive concept and the absence of coordination and communication. Trees in cities are not increasing. Trees are disappearing. Where is the enemy? Is it cars? Is it engineering networks? Or is it the obsession with economic growth as the only conceivable future? The author of the acclaimed book On Trees in the Streets, architect Kateřina Videnová, will attempt to answer these and other questions. In the publication, she has gathered eighteen perspectives on the issue, interviewed a willing and competent expert for each, and tried to connect and contextualize all the answers.
