Welcome to Citiwire.net! Nature and parks are our theme this week. Citistates Associate Richard Louv of “Last Child in the Woods” fame writes about the necessary shape of our communities to come if they’re to be settings for healthy kids. My column reviews some of the sensational openings of new urban parks across the country–a possibly historic turning point, my friend Peter Harnik of the Trust for Public Land suggests, in parks and their role in American cities and American life more broadly seen. Please feel free to add your comments to either column and to invite friends and colleagues to subscribe at http://www.citiwire.net/subscribe/.
