Urban parks such as New York City's Central Park provide vital public spaces where city dwellers of all races and classes can mingle safely while enjoying a variety of recreations. By coming together in these relaxed settings, different groups become comfortable with each other, thereby strengthening their communities and the democratic fabric of society. But just the opposite happens when, by design or in ignorance, parks are made inhospitable to certain groups of people. This pathfinding book argues that cultural diversity should be a key goal in designing and maintaining urban parks. Using case studies of New York City's Prospect Park, Orchard Beach in Pelham Bay Park, and Jacob Riis Park in the Gateway National Recreation Area, as well as New York's Ellis Island Bridge Proposal and Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, the authors identify specific ways to promote, maintain, and manage cultural diversity in urban parks. They also uncover the factors that can limit park use, including historical interpretive materials that ignore the contributions of different ethnic groups, high entrance or access fees, park usage rules that restrict ethnic activities, and park "restorations" that focus only on historical or aesthetic values. With the wealth of data in this book, urban planners, park professionals, and all concerned citizens will have the tools to create and maintain public parks that serve the needs and interests of all the public.

Civil society around the world is increasingly dealing with global questions, whereby it also begins to assume transnational forms of organisation. The arts, with their ability to project alternative realities and communicate ideas, can play a key role in addressing public and political problems. In looking at different platforms, activist groups, and new forms of citizens' initiatives, this book asks how cultural and art initiatives can both question and strengthen the civil domain. Social scientists, cultural theorists, activists, and artists explore how arts and culture can offer various strategies and forms of organisation for a locally rooted society in a globally connected context.

Bij de ontwikkeling van ruimtelijke uitvoeringsplannen, verkavelingsplannen en inrichtingsplannen worden heel wat beslissingen genomen die bepalen in welke mate een publieke buitenruimte functioneel, "beleefbaar" en "bespeelbaar" is voor kinderen. Dit boek geeft concrete richtlijnen voor kindgerichte planning van publieke buitenruimte. 

Dit boek laat zien hoe planologen, ontwerpers en ruimtelijke beleidsmakers kindgerichtheid kunnen realiseren in elke planningslaag. Deze publicatie bevat ruimtelijke instrumenten en concepten om tot een kindgerichte woontypologie, mobiliteit, groenstructuur, water- en reliëfstructuur en toeristisch-recreatieve structuur te komen. Concreet planmateriaal, talrijke referentiebeelden, concepttekeningen en technische schetsen maken het tot een bruikbaar instrument voor planning en ontwerp. 

Daarnaast reikt dit naslagwerk tevens een systematiek aan om plannen op te bouwen die rekening houden met de eigenheid van kinderen. Hiervoor worden diverse case studies gepresenteerd, die aantonen hoe kindgerichtheid verweven kan worden met een kwaliteitsvolle planning en ontwerp van de publieke ruimte.
