Synopsis
MetroGreen answers the need for the latest thinking and newest practices in land-use and urban planning. In ten case studies of U.S. and Canadian cities paired for comparative analysis—Toronto and Chicago, Calgary and Denver, and Vancouver and Portland among them—Donna Erickson looks closely at the motivations and objectives for connecting open spaces across metropolitan areas.
Ecological Restoration
"Throughout the book, I was impressed with Erickson's attention to defining jargon so that the material is easily understood by non-landscape architects. Given that the process is inherently multidisciplinary, MetroGreen ought to facilitate a common understanding and help to bridge the gaps among the diverse practionaers involved."
