How does the building setback, proximity to the road and/or sidewalks, and the proximity to other trees affect the type of tree chosen for planting?

We want to limit the potential for conflict or competition between tree branches and buildings, cars, pedestrians, and other trees. City specifications are for mature trees to be maintained at a height of 14 feet over a street or road for vehicular clearance and 8 feet over sidewalks for pedestrian clearance. Tree varieties are carefully chosen to have a size and/or branching structure that will cause the least conflict at maturity, and they are carefully located a prudent distance from buildings and other trees—it’s not a good idea to have a tree growing into a building or other trees.
