Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the multiplicity of green space developments in the modern city and the many influences shaping their evolution. Focusing on four northern European metropoles: London, Stockholm, Helsinki and St Petersburg, it examines how each has responded to the challenges and problems presented by green space, and what lessons can be drawn from the differing approaches taken.
