This book presents an interesting take on urban landscape design by African-American artist, designer, and educator on the subject, Walter Hood, accompanied by his colorful artworks of street views and overhead freeway points of view, all showcasing his knowledge and interest in landscape and environmental planning. From the back panel: "This study explores scenes of life in the community of West Oakland, California. It focuses on activities in and around several Model Cities parks, reveals limitations in their intention and use, and builds on observations of life in the parks to develop theoretical designs inspired by improvisation."
