Summary:
Public parks are among the most important open spaces in our cities, and contribute decisively to their character. They fulfil ecological, social and urban design requirements, and upgrade adjacent neighbourhoods and even whole city districts. New parks are being built all over Europe, in the hearts of cities or out in the periphery, as in the case of Invalidenpark in(...)

Summary:
Public parks are among the most important open spaces in our cities, and contribute decisively to their character. They fulfil ecological, social and urban design requirements, and upgrade adjacent neighbourhoods and even whole city districts. New parks are being built all over Europe, in the hearts of cities or out in the periphery, as in the case of Invalidenpark in Berlin and Thames Barrier Park in London, respectively. Some, such as Park André-Citroën, Paris, serve purely recreational purposes. Others, namely the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Muller Museum Park in the Netherland, are devoted to art or to botanic abundance, as the Botanical Garden in Barcelona. The creation of such extensive new green spaces is always the subject of public and professional discourse, no matter whether this concerns La Villette in Paris, Duisburg-Nord Lanscape Park in the Ruhr, or the new park at Munich's old airport in Riem. According, the compact survey is rounded off by theoretical discussion. Based on essays published in "Topos - European landscape magazine" between 1993 and today, the resulting collection of familiar and less-known parks from many European countries provides an excellent overview of current approaches to park and park design.

Summary:
Although the decades following World War II stand out as an era of rapid growth and construction in the United States, those years were equally significant for large-scale destruction. In order to clear space for new suburban tract housing, an ambitious system of interstate highways, and extensive urban renewal development, wrecking companies demolished buildings while earthmoving contractors leveled land at an unprecedented pace and scale. In this pioneering history, Francesca Russello Ammon explores how postwar America came to equate this destruction with progress.
