Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: How are greenways designed? What situations lead
to their genesis, and what examples best illustrate
their potential for enhancing communities and the
environment? Designing greenways is a key to protecting
landscapes, allowing wildlife to move freely,
and finding appropriate ways to bring people into
nature. This book brings together examples from
ecology, conservation biology, aquatic ecology, and
recreation design to illustrate how greenways function
and add value to ecosystems and human communities
alike.
Encompassing everything from urban trail corridors to river floodplains
to wilderness-like linkages, greenways preserve or improve the
integrity of the landscape, not only by stemming the loss of natural
features, but also by engendering new natural and social functions.
From 19th-century parks and parkways to projects still on the drawing
boards, Designing Greenways is a fascinating introduction to the possibilitiesâ
and pitfallsâinvolved in these ambitious projects. As towns
and cities look to greenways as a new way of reconciling man and
nature, designers and planners will look to Designing Greenways as an
invaluable compendium of best practices.
