Every inch of the city has already been claimed by various functions; road foundation, sewer systems, parking places, utilities etc. With only small spaces available, highly effective soil volume is needed to ensure that trees will grow into big trees.
When you want to plant a tree in the city, there may be existing utilities located in the same area as your planned digging. And not always where you expect them to be. Relocating those utilities is not budgeted for and it is therefore most cost-effective if the tree pit can integrate with the utilities as they are.
Trees need loose, well aerated soil in contrast to road building which needs highly compacted soil. Trees attempting to grow in compacted soil rarely meet their full growth potential and may die prematurely or damage the pavement while trying to survive.
Urban soil and trees are drying out while we are channelling water away via sewer systems. This is a principle that is often applied. It makes more sense to first let the tree benefit from the rain before it drains away. There is a need for solutions that are based on circular rather than linear processes.

Sustainable landscapes are essential for our cities to remain liveable and combat urban challenges. Mature, functional trees are the most nature-based urban solution to limit the impacts of climate change in public spaces.
