Urban forestry involves the planning and management of trees within cities to improve the urban environment. It includes maintaining tree inventories, maximizing tree benefits, obtaining public support, and establishing policies regarding public and private lands. Management also addresses day-to-day issues like where and how to plant, protect, and retain vegetation. The Miyawaki method is an afforestation technique used internationally since 1978 to quickly establish dense, native forests that require little maintenance.

12. International Applications
Since 1978, Miyawaki has contributed to vegetation surveys in
Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Miyawaki has instructed
people on planting in over 1,700 areas around the world,
including over 1,400 sites in Japan as well as in Borneo,
Amazonia and China. He has been involved in the planting of
over 40 million native trees, together with companies and
citizens, to contribute to forest.
