Abstract

This research explored the environmental constraints based on landscape architects' views in selecting urban trees. Two objectives have been formulated (urban views of the landscape architect are pertinent in tree selection practice. The findings of this research will contribute to practice improvement in selecting urban tree species by landscape architects in the future.
