Technical Reports
APA has
published three monographs on urban parks issues as part of the Planning
Advisory Service reports series:
All three are available from APA's PlanningBooks.com.
Case Studies
In preparation for each forum, each city prepares a case study, which helps
to define the program for the forum. The city presentations can be viewed at
the various forum web pages, shown on the left. Check out Making
a Difference as we track the progress of our parks grant projects.
Proceedings
Proceedings from the Fall 1999,
Fall 2000, Spring
2001, Fall 2001, and Summer
2002 forums are available to be downloaded. Please check back as we make
other proceedings available.
Briefing Papers
We
have developed a series of briefing papers, written by nationally recognized
park and open space experts, on topics that past mayoral participants have identified
as the most pressing issues facing their cities. See Briefing
Papers to view and download these documents as they become available.

includes information on the following park-related topics:
Design
Financing
Public/Private Partnerships
Stewardship
Usership
The bibliography is a work in progress. Materials will be continually added
to it over the course of the project.
