Lawrence Halprin's public spaces: design, experience and recovery. Three case studies
Introduction
The park systems of American cities should offer a range of opportunities for people to interact with their environment. Since each park generally reflects the tastes, values and attitudes of the era during which it was created, entire park networks represent the gradual layering of these cultural documents over time. 1 A city's park system inevitably reflects the evolution and history of the place and therefore offers the public a diversity of experiences from which to choose. Today, because undeveloped open space is scarce, parks and planning officials must focus their attention on parks that already exist. Rather than being adapted to fulfill current needs, many of these spaces that together represent the historic continuum are being cleared and redesigned to reflect today's single point in time.
