Description

Explore successful models of environmental preservation in Lasting Value: Open Space Planning and Preservation Successes. While many areas face the loss of farms and natural waterways due to suburban expansion, this book provides a positive look at communities that have found ways to protect their natural landscapes. Written by Rick Pruetz, FAICP, this work moves away from simply criticizing overdevelopment. Instead, it focuses on real-world examples of success. For ten years, Pruetz studied various communities that excel at saving their natural environments. Through twenty-four illustrated vignettes, readers can see how different regions manage their land to maintain habitats, water purification, and recreational spaces. From the volcanic ranges near Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the Grand Rounds in Minneapolis, these stories provide a roadmap for effective land use. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in architecture, landscape design, and the preservation of open spaces.
