Gardens have exerted a deep influence on the culture of cities.
Considering each city as a whole, this book presents the profoundly
different roles of gardens in cultural development and social life.
Private and princely gardens, from Roman antiquity to approximately
1850, are considered, whether in China, India, the Ottoman Empire,
Europe, or the United States. Turning to the subject of planning,
the dire lack of a municipal garden policy is examined in
contemporary Marrakech. In-depth evaluations of parks and garden
planning reveal the successes and limitations of different policies
in Stockholm, Tokyo, Kerala (India), historic Suzhou (China), and
the U.S. New Towns of the 1960s. This book unveils an exciting
domain of interplay between public and private action that is
little known by citizen groups, city planners, and managers.
