293 Building parks from reclaimed lands

On this week's podcast, Bob talks with Victoria Newhouse, the author of "Parks of the 21st century. Reinvented landscapes, reclaimed territories". They discuss the book's examination of parks that have been built on land formerly occupied by highways, railroads, airports, industrial sites, quarries and other property. The discussion goes over the effectiveness of using property that would at first glance not seem to be viable park land, with examples taken from many different countries. It's an engaging discussion on how to make the most of our natural resources.
