| Zusammenfassung: | Once referred to as Toronto's "accidental wilderness," Tommy Thompson Park is now recognized as a fortuitous urban miracle. Initially created as a landfill site on the city's rapidly developing waterfront, the park's physical and ecological footprint have grown dramatically. Forests, grasslands, and wildlife now thrive - all within a stone's throw of some of the most densely populated areas of North America's fourth-largest city. Accidental Wilderness is a rich and lyrical collection of essays curated by internationally recognized landscape architect and original designer of Tommy Thompson Park, Walter H. Kehm, complemented by a stunning collection of photographs by renowned landscape photographer Robert Burley. The book explores the city's port origins; the park's master plan principles and design; the native-plant succession process; the park's unique flora and fauna; public advocacy; and public recreation in the park and its effect on mental, physical, and spiritual health. In an era where the looming dangers associated with climate change affect our daily lives, Tommy Thompson Park offers a hopeful narrative about how nature can flourish in, and contribute to, the well-being of twenty-first-century cities |

Kehm with photographs by Robert Burley Toronto University of Toronto Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (176 Seiten) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Once referred to as Toronto's "accidental wilderness," Tommy Thompson Park is now recognized as a fortuitous urban miracle. Initially created as a landfill site on the city's rapidly developing waterfront, the park's physical and ecological footprint have grown dramatically. Forests, grasslands, and wildlife now thrive - all within a stone's throw of some of the most densely populated areas of North America's fourth-largest city. Accidental Wilderness is a rich and lyrical collection of essays curated by internationally recognized landscape architect and original designer of Tommy Thompson Park, Walter H. Kehm, complemented by a stunning collection of photographs by renowned landscape photographer Robert Burley. The book explores the city's port origins; the park's master plan principles and design; the native-plant succession process; the park's unique flora and fauna; public advocacy; and public recreation in the park and its effect on mental, physical, and spiritual health. In an era where the looming dangers associated with climate change affect our daily lives, Tommy Thompson Park offers a hopeful narrative about how nature can flourish in, and contribute to, the well-being of twenty-first-century cities DISCOUNT-C. bird ecological habitat landscape nature park photography planning recreation recycling sanctuaries sustainable urban waste urban waterfront design wetlands wildlife SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban bisacsh Natural history Ontario Toronto Parks Ontario Toronto Pictorial works Parks Ontario Toronto Peninsulas Ontario Toronto Urban ecology (Biology) Ontario Toronto Hafen (DE-588)4022859-9 gnd rswk-swf Ökologie (DE-588)4043207-5 gnd rswk-swf Stadtpark (DE-588)4182753-3 gnd rswk-swf Toronto (DE-588)4060459-7 gnd rswk-swf Toronto (DE-588)4060459-7 g Hafen (DE-588)4022859-9 s Stadtpark (DE-588)4182753-3 s Ökologie (DE-588)4043207-5 s DE-604 Burley, Robert 1957- (DE-588)11953293X pht Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-4875-0834-0 https://doi.org/10.3138/9781487538040 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
