Urban Green: Innovative Parks for Resurgent Cities

摘要: "Urban Green" explores new and innovative ways for 'built out' cities to add much-needed parkland. After first exploring the question of why urban parks are needed, Peter Harnik looks at how much parkland is truly possible where specific investment can go. Among book's many examples practical solutions reusing land from defunct factories sharing schoolyards, decking over highways allowing more activities in cemeteries, eliminating parking lots uncovering buried streams, more. While no strategy alone perfect, each has its own set challenges, collectively they suggest a path toward making beautiful, sociable, fun, ecologically sound, successful.
