A quality publication at a reasonable price! This well-known text combines classic concerns such as land-use judgments and the need to upgrade visual appearance of the built landscape with currently pressing issues like the fast disappearance of funds for land acquisitions, development, and management; design minimization of vandalism; and the role of computers in park design. The authors draw upon their own extensive knowledge and experience in this field by verbally and pictorially promoting awareness of the many aspects of a park that is successful today and will remain so for many years to come. The book examines all the essentials of park design in an accessible manner that readers will appreciate.
