Tx @bradmckeeee + @landarchmag for making the invisibility of #landarch in national media known, citing the @nytimes piece that failed to acknowledge @SasakiDesign’s prime role or Jacobs Ryan’s work on the #ChicagoRiverwalk!

A literacy gap and a lack of curiosity, for sure...

[Adam Regn Arvidson @AdamRegn]

Thanks @FPDCC for a lively “argument” about recreation / conservation. Especially like your fee structure / subsidy pyramid. #NRPAConference

“People expect prairie out in the country, but we have to get it in the community... or we won’t win the day on helping pollinators”: Daniel Gibbins of Linn County Cons. in Iowa, restoring 1,000 acres of prairie on public lands #nrpaconference

When told a hidden construction site would have a playground, people had 17% more confidence in government. This and other facts about parks and civic life during the excellent presentation by @active_design #NRPAConference

Still one of my fave urban design moves of all time: Indy Cultural Trail. And look! Scooter share, electric car share, peds, bikes. Now that’s a complete street. #ICT #indy #NRPAConference

Fascinating talk on #gentrification w @SimplySJG Working w community early matters. @MplsParkBoard we don’t draw any designs until after a whole “summer of engagement.” Parks for people in place. #NRPAConference

#NRPAConference keynote speaker @pkageyama : FUN is at the heart of loving our cities.

[Adam Regn Arvidson @AdamRegn]

I experience this all the time in community engagement work. Need v. Vision+need. #NRPAConference

[NRPA news @NRPA_news]

#NRPAConference Keynote Speaker @pkageyama: Citizens know how to ask for things like fixing potholes, but not necessarily art, parks and fun -- things that connect us with our fellow citizens.
