Once these designated sites had been used, cities looked towards post-industrial sites, and built parks in places that had suffered from environmental degradation, neglect, abandonment and conflict. With finite stocks of urban post-industrial land now also approaching exhaustion, more ways of making parks are required to create inclusive, accessible and resilient urban places.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuture Park\u003c\/i\u003e invites Australian built environment professionals and policymakers to consider the future of parks in our cities. Including spectacular images of public spaces throughout the world, the book describes the economic, social and environmental benefits of urban parks, and then outlines the threats and challenges facing cities and communities in an age when more than half the world's population are urban dwellers. \u003ci\u003eFuture Park\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the need to embrace new public park thinking to ensure that benefits continue to be realised.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFuture Park\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates imaginative and resourceful responses to real challenges by highlighting recent proposals and projects.
