treetscape is a term used to describe the natural and built fabric of the street, and defined as the design quality of the street and its visual effect, particularly how the paved area is laid out and treated. It includes buildings, the street surface, and also the fixtures and fittings that facilitate its use – from bus shelters and signage to planting schemes. It plays an important role in forming the visual image of sustainable cities. It is one of the important components of the public realm that helps define a country’s aesthetic quality, identity, economic activity, health, social cohesion and opportunity, not just its mobility.
