When we look at parks, we have to consider- what are the social benefits the park or natural area provides?
- How do parks benefit health?
- who has access to these benefits, and who does not?
- How will it help local flora or fauna?
- What design elements will lessen human impact?
- What is the monetary cost of the park? Who will fund it?
- Why should it be a priority?
- What value does the park have to the community?
