Balancing Green Space with the Built Environment. Part 2 - Parks and Open Spaces
Description
Eighty percent of our population lives in cities. But too few of our citizens have access to open space and public parks. City parks and open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities, raise property values, and make our neighborhoods more attractive and desirable places to live and work in. This chapter highlights cities that have created green open space for the betterment of not only environmental health, but for economic viability as well.
