Résumé:

"Great City Parks is a celebration of some of the finest achievements of landscape architecture in the public realm. It is a comparative study of twenty significant public parks in fourteen major cities across western Europe and North America. As a collection they give a clear picture of why parks have been created, how they have been designed, how they are managed, and what plans are being made for them at the beginning of the twenty-first century."
"Great City Parks is based on unique research including extensive site visits and interviews with their managing organizations. The text is amplified by new plans and photographs of each park. This book reflects a belief that well-planned, well-designed and well-managed parks remain invaluable components of liveable and hospitable cities. Great City Parks will appeal to practitioners and students of landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning and park management, and to people who appreciate the special role of parks in urban environments."--Jacket.
