"Donna Erickson's MetroGreen will set you imagining interconnected
greenspaces all across your city--and her book will give you expert
guidance for making such a network a reality. Erickson's analyses
of ten case studies are insightful and instructive and make
fascinating reading."--Paul Cawood Hellmund, ASLA; coauthor,
"Designing Greenways"; President, Conway School of Landscape
Design
"I see our open spaces as the living rooms of our cities, places
where we meet and reflect. MetroGreen has great examples to help us
understand our open spaces, in a clearly written and
well-researched text. This book should be a must-read for every
local politician and public servant--to refresh or inspire."--Moura
Quayle, Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of British
Columbia
"Throughout the book, I was impressed with Erickson's attention to
defining jargon so that the material is easily understood by
non-landscape architects. Given that the process is inherently
multidisciplinary, MetroGreen ought to facilitate a common
understanding and help to bridge the gaps among the diverse
practitioners involved."-- "Ecological Restoration"
