ABSTRACT
This chapter tends to develop the scenarios for the upcoming century through an accurate interaction between the urbanization process and forestation. To tackle challenges that hover over humankind in the forthcoming century, authors should plan the future of our planet, and it is necessary to approach the city holistically. The environmental disaster, land take, urbanization, and food shortage are all embedded in such a study. The spatial and physical structures of forests in urban areas are the results of urbanization tendencies. The economic trajectory, historical, cultural, and social drivers generate the urban forms. Consequently, understanding where these urban forms are heading is crucial to propose an adequate forest type. The forestation scenarios discussed are all related to and driven by the scale, tendency, and forms of the urbanization process. Before the ground-breaking work of Indian economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s, the development was traditionally evaluated by economic criteria.
