Designing Small Parks: A Manual for Addressing Social and Ecological Concerns provides guidelines for building better parks by integrating design criteria with current social and natural science research. The manual is arranged around thirteen topics that represent key questions, contradictions, or tensions in the design of parks. Topics cover fundamental issues for urban parks, natural systems, and human aspects. Also included, are useful case studies with alternative design solutions using three different approaches for integrating reseach findings into small urban park design .
