- Abstract : Great City Parks is a study of twenty significant public parks in a number of cities in Western Europe and North America. They give a clear picture of why parks have been created, how they have been designed, how they are managed, and what plans are being made for them at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The examination of each park looks at the size and condition of the sites at the time of designation, and looks at the reason for their designation and at the key figures behind the decisions to build them.
