Everyone from the professional to the layperson is affected by what a designer proposes for the development of parklands. The entire community has a stake in the results. Dahl and Molnar enable the reader to experience the aesthetic and functional aspects of park design through the eyes of the people for whom parks are planned, designed, and built. The book bridges the gaps that often exist between park designer and park user, between landscape architect and park board, between administrators and maintenance staff. Readers will enjoy the witty and lively presentation of the principles that govern skillful plan interpretation and effective site design, addressing the modernday challenges facing landscape architects, park administrators and personnel, and the communities they serve. The third edition includes a detailed treatment of creative funding solutions, including the ins and outs of grant writing and application. Readers will be better able to identify opportunities and generate ideas for building partnerships to help conceive and implement park projects. The authors engage the reader in thoughtprovoking discussions about multipleuse concepts, nature preservation and energy conservation, the increasing importance of costconscious budgeting, the value of good design and durable construction, and the latest in computerassisted park design and maintenance.Titles of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Booth, Basic Elements of Landscape Architectural Design (ISBN 9780881334784); Crompton, Financing and Acquiring Park and Recreation Resources (ISBN 9781577666356); and Murphy, Landscape Architecture Theory: An Evolving Body of Thought (ISBN 9781577663577).
