Abstract

Urban street trees (USTs) have a range of values – some of which are easier to quantify than others. Focusing specifically on the UK context and using the Sheffield Tree Protests (2012–) as a case study, whilst confirming existing research as to the variety of values associated with their specifically ‘cultural’ services, the article argues that USTs have an additional potential form – what I call ‘civic-transformative value’. This form of value has at least three key characteristics. Firstly, it is place-based and communal; second, its form is ‘relational’; and finally, as intrinsically contingent, it is pluralistic in the sense that its civic-transformative potential is dependent on successfully integrating a range of other values. The article emphasises both the possibility and necessity of ‘convergence’ – that is, a pluralistic and pragmatic alliance of values which might help protect not only USTs, but other embattled sites of nature.
城市行道树的 "公民改造 "价值
城市行道树(USTs)有一系列的价值,其中一些比其他的更容易量化。本文特别关注英国的背景,并以谢菲尔德树抗议活动(2012 -)为例进行研究,同时确认了现有的研究,即与他们特定的“文化”服务相关的各种价值,本文认为ust还有一种额外的潜在形式——我称之为“公民变革价值”。这种形式的价值至少有三个关键特征。首先,它是基于地方和公共的;第二,它的形式是“关系”的;最后,作为内在的偶然性,它是多元化的,因为它的公民变革潜力依赖于成功地整合一系列其他价值观。这篇文章强调了“趋同”的可能性和必要性——也就是说,一个多元化和务实的价值观联盟,它不仅可以帮助保护ust,还可以帮助保护其他陷入困境的自然遗址。

期刊介绍: Environmental Values is an international peer-reviewed journal that brings together contributions from philosophy, economics, politics, sociology, geography, anthropology, ecology and other disciplines, which relate to the present and future environment of human beings and other species. In doing so we aim to clarify the relationship between practical policy issues and more fundamental underlying principles or assumptions.
