Presentation from Park Pride's 2015 Parks and Greenspace Conference. The presenter is Peter Harnik. Peter Harnik has been following and investigating the growth and evolution of the city parks movement for nearly two decades. He has helped chart and analyze the resurgence of urban parks from the depths of despair in the 1980s to such breakthrough successes today as Piedmont and Centennial Olympic Parks in Atlanta, Millennium Park in Chicago, Railroad Park in Birmingham and the High Line in New York. Harnik will discuss the latest techniques in park-building, park-fixing and park-funding, as well as the critical role that park advocates must have in the process.
