At Greater & Greener: Reimagining Parks for 21st Century Cities, the 4th international urban parks conference organized by the City Parks Alliance, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg told an audience of 900 city parks leaders, landscape architects, and activists from 210 cities and 20 countries that "parks are a vital resource." Under Bloomberg's administration, some 730 new acres of parkland have been added to the 29,000 existing acres of green space.
Interesting initiative by New York's Mayor Bloomberg. Nice to see his health campaign includes parks and open spaces.
