Book Description

1559635584 978-1559635585 March 18, 2006 1
With illustrative and detailed examples drawn from throughout the

country, Green Infrastructure advances smart land conservation: largescale

thinking and integrated action to plan, protect and manage our

natural and restored lands. From the individual parcel to the multistate

region, Green Infrastructure helps each of us look at the landscape

in relation to the many uses it could serve, for nature and people, and

determine which use makes the most sense.

In this wide-ranging primer, leading experts in the field provide

a detailed how-to for planners, designers, landscape architects, and

citizen activists.
