With illustrative and detailed examples drawn from throughout the
country, Green Infrastructure advances smart land conservation: largescale
thinking and integrated action to plan, protect and manage our
natural and restored lands. From the individual parcel to the multistate
region, Green Infrastructure helps each of us look at the landscape
in relation to the many uses it could serve, for nature and people, and
determine which use makes the most sense.
In this wide-ranging primer, leading experts in the field provide
a detailed how-to for planners, designers, landscape architects, and
citizen activists.
