After first exploring the question of why urban parks are needed, Peter Harnik looks at how much parkland is truly possible and where specific investment can go. Among the book's many examples and practical solutions are reusing the land from defunct factories to sharing schoolyards, from decking parks over highways to allowing more activities in cemeteries, from eliminating parking lots to uncovering buried streams, and more. While no strategy alone is perfect, and each has its own set of challenges, collectively they suggest a path toward making cities more beautiful, sociable, fun, ecologically sound, and successful. 606 $aUrban parks$zUnited States 606 $aCity planning$zUnited States 606 $aOpen spaces$zUnited States 606 $aUrban renewal$zUnited States 606 $aUrban landscape architecture$zUnited States 615 0$aUrban parks 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aOpen spaces 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aUrban landscape architecture 676 $a712/.50973 700 $aHarnik$b Peter$01655866 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828752703321 996 $aUrban green$94019088 997 $aUNINA
