Review

"Specific, succinct, well-written, full of innovative ideas from all over--Peter Harnik''s Urban Green: Innovative Parks for Resurgent Cities is all one could ask of a practical planning book."

(Planning )

"With this timely and valuable book, Harnik has done a great service. Public-sector officials, planners, and designers will find it useful, but so will community activists, neighborhood groups, and anybody else who uses an urban park. Which, in a densely populated city, is just about everyone."

(Landscape Architecture )

"Harnik conveys in pragmatic, no-nonsense terms what it takes to make the outdoor rooms of a city serve the true needs of their users. Fundamental questions are asked about which kinds of parks to build, how much to build, for whom to build, and where the parks should go. The answers imply new or renewed solutions and new ways of defining the very term parks." (Urban Land )

“Urban Green is part reference manual, part guidebook and part inspiration.  It provides an unprecedented look at the re-greening of urban America.  From rail trails to rooftops to landfills, Peter Harnik shows us how to find and fund green spaces for the next century.” (Edward T. McMahon Charles E. Fraser Chair for Sustainable Development and )
