No Parks?
Are parks bad? These quarantined bits of land and water speak to a confused desire for some kind of “nature”—and they might be good for our health—but do they also serve to excuse our continued bad behaviour? Parks are not innocent. City parks are real estate assets and urban “amenities” created by planners, landscape architects, hydrological engineers, police(...)
