A must-have publication for landscape architects, urban design professionals, town planners, students and educators in the urban design fields.
Walking and cycling are becoming a fashionable lifestyle both as a low-impact exercise and a healthy means of travel. There is an ever-growing demand for the construction of pedestrian and cyclist paths internationally, and it's the rate of growth that highlights new challenges, as well as opportunities, for landscape designers.
This book showcases several exciting design projects of pedestrian and cyclist paths across a range of environments, from cities to local communities, urban areas to larger national parks.
The highly illustrated projects demonstrate a commitment to creative design to produce new public spaces that are not only functional, but provide opportunities for people to move easily through them and interact with the surrounding urban and natural environments. The book includes an informative design guide and a set of criteria that should provide strong reference materials in the evolving landscape realm of developing sustainable, green infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.
