In an era of rapid urbanization and unprecedented environmental challenges, the future of urban parks has become more crucial than ever before. Future Park: Imagining Tomorrow's Urban Parks offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the innovative designs, technologies, and social roles that parks will play in shaping resilient, equitable, and sustainable cities.

Through a series of captivating essays, leading experts in urban planning, landscape architecture, park management, and policy envision the future of urban parks. They explore how parks can:

Foster social cohesion and community building through shared experiences and events.
Enhance biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife by preserving natural ecosystems.
Mitigate the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, reducing heat island effects, and providing shade.
Promote economic development by attracting visitors, businesses, and residents.

Future Park also examines the challenges facing urban parks, such as funding shortages, gentrification, and climate change. The authors offer innovative solutions to these challenges, including:

Developing new funding models, such as public-private partnerships and impact investing.
Promoting equitable access to parks by investing in underserved communities and providing free or low-cost programming.
Adapting parks to the impacts of climate change by planting heat-tolerant trees, installing water-efficient irrigation systems, and creating shade structures.
