Disturbing? I think it looks nice. I prefer nature, but we do need some urban growth so I do like that they plant a tree along the sidewalks.

It's better to do it like that then to not have trees there at all, IMO.

How is it better? Looking? Or better for the Tree?

Why not just not have all the concrete there, they could have used less.

You said along the sidewalks. That is inside the sidewalk.

Is that a sidewalk or what is that? Hard to tell from the picture.
