Considering each city as a whole, this book presents the profoundly different roles of gardens in cultural development and social life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrivate and princely gardens, from Roman antiquity to approximately 1850, are considered, whether in China, India, the Ottoman Empire, Europe, or the United States. Turning to the subject of planning, the dire lack of a municipal garden policy is examined in contemporary Marrakech. In-depth evaluations of parks and garden planning reveal the successes and limitations of different policies in Stockholm, Tokyo, Kerala (India), historic Suzhou (China), and the U.S. New Towns of the 1960s. This book unveils an exciting domain of interplay between public and private action that is little known by citizen groups, city planners, and managers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Conan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884023281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884023289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.38h x 9.47w x 1.09d","brand":"Michel Conan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149552972031,"sku":"9780884023289","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2865045-17b5-43fd-8f2a-5fc8e164012a.jpg?v=1688457288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gardens-city-life-and-culture-michel-conan-9780884023289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
