在本文中，我们探讨了通过大规模的，大都市植树计划的城市生态系统服务的增强正在规划和执行的一个组成部分，传统的市政府或代表新的，跨学科的战略，在环境治理。借鉴定性访谈的利益相关者在六个主要城市（n=58），我们进一步探讨这些举措和关系的制度化。虽然当前的许多讨论假定政府不能“单独行动”，为复杂的环境问题提供预防性的“前端”解决方案，但我们发现，公共部门在这些绿色基础设施倡议的愿景，规划和管理中占主导地位，而私营部门的作用微乎其微。我们还发现，尽管这些举措占据主导地位，但在制度化方面取得的成功有限。这种二分法反映出，虽然将公共部门贴上无法应对复杂环境问题和私营部门在环境治理制度中占主导地位的标签还为时过早，但将解决方案制度化纳入政府机制仍然是一个有争议的竞技场。
In this paper we explore whether the enhancement of urban ecosystem services through large-scale, metropolitan tree-planting initiatives is being planned and executed as a component of traditional municipal government or represents new, transdisciplinary strategies in environmental governance. Drawing on qualitative interviews with stakeholders in six major cities (n=58) we further explore institutionalization of these initiatives and relationships. While much current discourse posits government cannot “go it alone” in providing preventative, “front-end” solutions to complex environmental problems, we found the public sector dominant in the visioning, planning, and management of these green infrastructure initiatives and the role of the private sector to be minimal. We also found that, despite this dominance, the initiatives had limited success in becoming institutionalized. This dichotomy reflects that while discourses labeling the public sector unable to grapple with complex environmental issues and the private sector dominant in environmental governance regimes are premature, institutionalizing the solutions into the machinery of government remains a contested arena.
