Open Space and Urban Water Management. Phase I: Goals and Criteria
The key elements are a discussion of critical variables and relationships involved in open space subsystems and a very comprehensive presentation of specific goals and criteria for open space preservation and management. Also included are discussions of various historical threads which have led to the present concern for open space preservation and management. These include the conservation movement and city beautiful era in this country, Federal policies and programs with regard to environmental quality and urban development, and the open space movement in the 1960's. Open space is defined to include both open and natural areas within built up urban areas and natural areas in the countryside that have characteristics such that they are suitable to be permanently preserved in a natural state or used for various open space purposes, e.g., recreation. Open space elements are grouped into four basic subsystem: ecosystems such as wetlands and estuaries; land nodes such as prime agricultural lands and unusually scenic areas; water-land interfaces such as flood plains and shorelands; and urban spaces such as parks, plazas, utility corridors, and buffers.
