The Greening of London, 1920-2000 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The long-term development of public green spaces in London during the twentieth century is a curiously neglected subject, despite the fact that various kinds of green spaces cover huge areas in cities. Building on case studies of the contemporary boroughs of Camden and Southwark and making use of a wealth of archival material, the author takes us through the planning and creation stages, to the intended uses and ongoing management of the spaces. It makes a crucial contribution to academic as well as political discourse on the history and present role of green space in sustainable cities.
