Urban Square Landscape

Why is it so important for a town to have good urban spaces? Comfortable and beautiful public places in towns can give just the breathing space that is needed in a densely packed town. The urban space can give an opening in the built environment, and make it possible to see a little more of the sky. Such openings in the urban fabric give valuable views from buildings nearby, and not least give people who spend time in the town a small breathing space, a valued experience in contrast to the tiresome walling up and down urban streets. This book covers the 38 outstanding projects of square landscape from all over the world which will be a source book for landscape designers.
