Public open spaces provide many benefits to individuals and society. Many of the services they provide; such as recreation, enjoyment of nature, and improving water quality; are non-exclusive and nonrival in consumption. The "public good" nature of open space services inhibits the formation of a market for open space areas. This may allow the supply of open space areas to be less than socially optimal. Decisions about the supply of open space areas may be improved by using non-market valuation techniques to provide insight into the value of public open space areas The hedonic property price approach is used in this study to estimate the effect of public open space areas in Corvallis, Oregon on surrounding residential property values. Information about property sales from the period 1990-1995 was gathered to relate the selling price of residential property to the structural, neighborhood, and environmental characteristics of the property by the use of multiple regression analysis. The primary variables of interest were the enviromnental characteristics, "distance to the nearest open space" and "size of the nearest open space". The regression analysis was then conducted for different sub-samples based on the use and topography of the different types of open space areas included in the study. The results of the analysis indicate that public open space may have had a positive effect on surrounding residential property, but that the effect may have been dependent on the distance from the open space and the type of open space. Residential properties near municipal parks or located within 200 feet of open spaces were estimated to have had higher values, ceteris paribus. Schools and cemeteries were estimated to have had a negative, but not statistically significant effect on sample residential property values, while upland and wetland open spaces were estimated to have had a positive, but not statistically significant effect. The estimated implicit marginal value of the amenities produced by the open spaces studied allows a partial estimate of the value of the municipal parks. This partial estimate of value indicates that, under certain conditions, the benefits associated with parks may exceed their cost.

A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.

people places Second Edition Design Guidelines for Urban Open Space edited by Clare Cooper Marcus and Carolyn Francis A resurgence in the use of public space continues throughout North America and many other parts of the world. Neighborhoods have become more outspoken in their demands for appropriate park designs; corporations have witnessed the value of providing outdoor spaces for employee lunch-hour use; the rising demand for child care has prompted increased awareness of the importance of developmentally appropriate play and learning environments; and increased attention is being focused on the specific outdoor space needs for the elderly, college students, and hospital patients and staff. Now available in an updated, expanded second edition, People Places is a fully illustrated, award-winning book that offers research-based guidelines and recommendations for creating more usable and enjoyable public open spaces of all kinds. People Places analyzes and summarizes existing research on how urban open spaces are actually used, offering design professionals and students alike an easily understood, easily applied guide to creating people-friendly places. Seven types of urban open space are discussed: urban plazas, neighborhood parks, miniparks and vest-pocket parks, campus outdoor spaces, outdoor spaces in housing for the elderly, child-care outdoor spaces, and hospital outdoor spaces. People Places contains a chapter-by-chapter review of the literature, illustrative case studies, and design guidelines specific to each type of space. People Places has a number of features that can be easily incorporated into the design process: * Clear, readable translations of existing research on people's use of outdoor spaces. * Performance-based design recommendations that specify key relationships between design and use. * Design review checklists that help readers plan and critique designs. * A clearly organized, concise format equally useful to the design practitioner and the design student. The newly revised edition of People Places also includes: * Discussion of accessibility issues, including ADA regulations and the concept of universal design; and of design responses aimed at crime reduction. * Procedures for conducting post-occupancy evaluations of designed outdoor spaces. * Updated and new information on each type of outdoor space, with special attention to hospitals, child care facilities, and campus outdoor spaces where specific advances have occurred since 1990. * A completely new color-photo section and 50 new black and white illustrations. Winner of the Merit Award in Communication from the American Society of Landscape Architects, People Places is an essential working tool for landscape architects and architects, city planners, urban designers, neighborhood groups, and anyone else concerned with the quality of urban open space.
