Creating Open Space Networks

Randall Arendt

Abstract

This paper describes practical ways that planners, landscape architects, and related professionals can help communities shape their new development patterns more effectively, so that features that are noteworthy or significant at the local or neighborhood level (but which are rarely protected under current codes) will become the central organizing elements around which each development is designed. With farsighted planning (trendily referred to as "visioning"), local officials can help to ensure that most of the open space thus protected will ultimately form an interconnected network of conservation lands running throughout their communities.
