Americans are committing 'country-cide', says Rick Pruetz, FAICP,
converting farms into suburban yards and channeling streams that
once provided flood control, water purification, habitats, and
recreational opportunities. But rather than rail against
overdevelopment, this book celebrates communities succeeding in
preservation. For ten years Pruetz explored communities that excel
in saving their natural environment. In twenty-four illustrated
vignettes, he captures the character of places from the volcanic
range near downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Minneapolis's Grand
Rounds park system, to farmland improbably preserved on Long
Island. As the longtime city planner of Burbank, California, Pruetz
offers more than an appreciation of these communities. He brings a
planner's-eye view of the practices behind their achievements. His
detailed reports of creative preservation solutions mark the trail
for planners, commissioners, and citizens who seek to preserve the
green legacy in their own backyards.
