Part II: The Present and Future of Park Planning and Design

Part II is planned as a combination of panels, presentations, case studies, and hands-on work sessions organized around a series of contemporary issues, challenges, and opportunities facing the planning, design and management of 21st century public parks. Over two days, the conference participants will critically explore key management questions, and – working at times in facilitated work sessions – offer conceptual approaches that address challenges and embrace opportunities.  The goal of this session is to articulate forward-thinking and achievable design principles that guide park managers as they plan, design, and manage public space in a changing 21st century environment.
