Abstract: The present article deals with the aesthetical impact of trees and their relating importance for people in the urban context of open spaces. Indeed, trees therefore have ecological
and climate compensating effects, but also social, individual importance, which is noted through the human perception of their spatial effect. Methodologically, this article is based on a literature analysis
and sums up essential research results of the design and spatial impact of urban trees. Thereby, the results show that the importance of trees in the urban context and in their symbolical effect offers
a reconnection to our phylogenetic heritage and fulfils our longing for the natural. The aesthetic appearance contributes essentially to the revaluation of the urban realm, but, furthermore, the health
promoting impact on the human being is of particular significance.
Keywords: Phylogenesis, relationship to the natural, tree aesthetics, health promotion, contemplation
