The Politics of Trees Preview
Preview | 30s
In the battle between concrete and canopy, what kind of city do we really want to grow?
Despite decades of ordinances and pledges to protect them, trees are routinely lost to development, road widening, power lines and city maintenance projects. Whilst digging into the contradictions at the heart of Kansas City’s relationship with its canopy, the film highlights communities and developers as they rethink the role of trees.
