Trees Hubs. The city as a sustainable scenario of circular gardens and forests

In line with the ambition to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the EU has recently committed to planting 3 billion trees (see the EU Forest Strategy, 2021). On a global level, a number of cities have implemented reforestation programmes and urban greening initiatives. Within the framework of this vast and urgent commitment, the paper examines the emerging phenomenon of Tree Hubs, where unwanted trees and plants can be placed after harvesting and before replanting, with a particular focus on The Netherlands.
