MetroGreen:
Connecting Open Space in North American Cities

by Donna Erickson

In this volume, Erickson, a consultant on open-space conservation, presents ten case studies of open-space networks in the U.S. and Canada. Through the studies, Erickson looks at ecological and human needs and at the tension between the desires to preserve open space and accommodate human development. She promotes the creation of open-space networks, finding that they protect ecological systems while promoting human health and well-being.
