A visually stunning and beautifully written celebration of park
life around the world. The pandemic brought into sharp relief what
city dwellers already realised: parks are an absolutely essential
part of modern life. From the author who brought you Lido, here are
50 of the world's greatest parks – but not just a list of the
examples we already know. Yes, we'll tell you about those storied
greats such as Central Park in New York and Phoenix Park in Dublin,
but we'll also take you to the Philippines, to Australia, to
provincial Britain and around the world to show you the most
historic and the most interesting, the newest and most cutting-edge
that mix the best of nature and architecture. We'll explore what
you can find there, who goes there, why they are important, and how
parks respond to their environments, including ones over a road, on
old rail lines or in Berlin's former airport. Examples include: •
Freeway Park, Seattle, USA: a bizarre and brilliant brutalist park
over a motorway. • Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, Brazil: this one
contains amazing galleries and theatres. • Holyrood Park,
Edinburgh, UK: mountains within a city. • Adelaide's parks,
Australia: unique in that the entire city centre is enclosed by
parks. and many, many more. Illustrated with glorious photographs
throughout, this book is a fascinating record of the world's most
interesting and innovative parks, and the people who use them –
you'll want to visit them all.
