前 言

近年来，随着城市生态环境的日益恶化、人们对城市绿地生态功能以及对改善环境作用认识的提高， 园林绿化建设也随之蓬勃兴起。 增加城市园林绿化建设投入，充分发挥绿地的生态效益，改善城市面貌和城市环境，进一步提高城市品位和投资环境，创建人与自然和谐共生的人居环境，已成为人们的共识和时代要求。
       城市园林绿化建设不仅作为城市的基础设施，而且是城市生态建设的核心内容，是美化城市、改善环境、保护人居环境质量、实现城市可持续发展的重要途径和手段。高水平、高质量的园林绿化工程，既是改善生态环境和促进城市可持续发展的需要，又是人们追求良好、优美的生活环境的基础。而园林绿化工程施工与养护是发挥绿地多种效益、实现城市绿化建设作用和目的的基础前提和重要保证。
       园林绿化工程施工与养护是集团林学、生态学、工程学、生物学、建筑学、艺术学、心理学、社会学等各门类知识和技术于一体的综合性、应用性学科。为了满足当前生态环境建设和园林绿化工程施工与养护等专业技术人员及相关专业高等教育的迫切需要， 同时也为提高园林绿化施工与养护从业人员的技术水平和管理能力，适应园林绿化事业的发展。
