内 容：Small urban parks by virtue of the amenities they offer and their proximity to a residential population offer key services in the city. In very large and dense cities with an aging population like Shanghai, these services are increasingly valuable. Yet understanding the preferences and needs of park users generally has not made its way to metropolitan planning in China. Further, park planners worldwide know little about Chinese park traditions or daily life patterns. Using Dr.Shan Yin’s study of 16 parks for the Pudong Bureau of Greening and Gardening as a springboard for discussion, this lecture sets the study results the context of McNally’s 30 years of urban parks and open space professional practice, research, teaching, and advocacy.
