Reading list: Street trees and urban forests

The dedication in Shade Trees in Towns and Cities (William Solotaroff, 1912) reads,

To every town and city dweller this book is earnestly dedicated.

Evelyn Herwitz partly dedicated Trees at Risk: Reclaiming an Urban Forest (2001) to

...all the children of Worcester, who will inherit the trees

These two books are culled from my proposal bibliography. It is not a comprehensive list, so please add titles in a comment.
