Purchase options and add-ons

Designing Small Parks: A Manual for Addressing Social and Ecological Concerns provides guidelines for building better parks by integrating design criteria with current social and natural science research. Small parks are too often relegated to being the step-child of municipal and metropolitan open space systems because of assumptions that their small size and isolation limits their recreational capacity and makes them ecologically less valuable than large city and county parks. This manual is arranged around twelve topics that represent key questions, contradictions, or tensions in the design of small parks. Topics cover fundamental issues for urban parks, natural systems, and human aspects. Also included are useful case studies with alternative design solutions using three different approaches for integrating research findings into small urban park design.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Laura Musacchio’s work emphasizes how cities, towns, and regions of the world can be made more sustainable, biophilic, biodiverse, resilient, and just in the twenty-first century by helping people to reconnect to the web of life. She specifically focuses on how green space systems can be consciously (re)designed to provide enough suitable spaces for people, water, biodiversity, habitats, infrastructure, and so on. This issue is a pressing concern because green space systems are a key strategy for climate design efforts, public health interventions, ecosystem service enhancements, and watershed management endeavors. Yet, public money to support green space systems is usually not one of the top priorities for many cities, towns, states, provinces, and nations.

    This book was listed as one of the top 10 books in Planning in 2006 by Planetizen and is a very useful manual. It's fun to read, inclusive, informative, and well-researched.

    I am on a review committee for a local park, and got this hoping it would help. Unfortunately it is more of a text book that attempts to cover all bases without really advocating or advising on how to acheive good park design.
