“…Another important aspect of a functioning city is its urban forest [4,5] and green spaces [6]. This is because green spaces provide an extensive range of benefits, such as climate adaptation [7], climate mitigation [8,9], erosion control, and physical and psychological comfort [10], and because they affect human senses such as sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch [11].…”

Another reason is that town planners, government and policy makers are not giving adequate attention to trees and its inclusion in infrastructure and other land allocation priorities (Ezeabasili et al 2015, Mell et al 2013. This is because more attention is given to the tangible market products, primarily timber and fuel wood, discounting its non-commercial environmental service values (Dumenu 2013).…”
