Design Neighborhoods as if they were Parks.

THE IDEA OF NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS AND URBAN OPEN SYSTEMS.

Character neighborhoods have extensive areas and lands devoted to parks and open spaces. When systematically organized, the collection of parks, plazas, school grounds, stormwater ponds, protected wetlands, lakes, streams, private lawns and gardens becomes a holistic, integrated system of lands and waters devoted to the resident’s health, recreation and welfare.
