Reconstruction of Urban Forests: Post World War II and the Bosnian War

Reconstruction of Urban Forests: Post World War II and the Bosnian War by Joe R. McBride
English | PDF | 2021 | 111 Pages | ISBN : 3030649377 | 4.9 MB

This book will address the destruction of urban forest in nine cities by bombing during World War II and the Bosnian War and their reconstruction in the post-war years. After reviewing the general objectives and results of aerial bombing, the book explores the effects of bombing and the reconstruction of urban forest in London, Coventry, Hamburg, Dresden, St. Petersburg, Stalingrad, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Sarajevo. Sarajevo stands out among these cities because the destruction of its urban forest was the result of citizens cutting down trees for firewood during the siege of the city.
