"
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 thirty significant public parks in major
cities across Western Europe and North America. Collectively, 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.
Based on unique research including extensive site visits and
interviews with the managing organisations, this book is
illustrated throughout with clear plans and photographs with this
new edition featuring full colour throughout. Tate updates his
seminal 2001 work with 10 additional parks, including: The High
Line in NYC, Golden Gate Bridge Park in San Francisco and
Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam. All the previous city parks have also
been updated and revised to reflect current usage and
management.
This book reflects a belief that well planned, well designed and
well managed parks and park systems will continue to make major
contributions to the quality of life in an increasingly urbanized
world."
