Description

Public parks are among the most important open spaces in our cities. They fulfil ecological, social and urban design requirements, and upgrade adjacent neighbourhoods and even whole city districts.

This book presents a range of examples, from the smaller town park to the larger country parks on the periphery of the city. Examples include Tapiola in Finland, the Museums Garden in Santiago de Compostela, Parc de Bercy in Paris, Park Juan Carlos I in Madrid. This selection of well-known and also lesser-known European parks will provide an informative overview of the function of green spaces in towns today.
