Abstract

One of the most important elements of urban landscape is urban roads. These roads, which constitute the most important transportation networks of cities, have also seen as light green locations that enrich value to the city. The afforestation for urban roads and streets should be designed to provide beautiful views to the travelers and pedestrians along the road. Woody plant taxa to be used in road afforestation have an effective appearance with their form, color and sizes. In this research, the some woody plant taxa used in urban afforestation of urban roads which have become the focal points of the city due to diversification of transportation networks have been studied. The aesthetic properties of the woody plant taxa were evaluated and recommendations were developed.
