“The more a park resembles a natural ecosystem, the more easily it can be managed as a relatively closed system. Parts of large parks, leftover land on steep slopes or along floodplains, and even weedy vacant lots, can all be designed as self-maintaining, self-regenerating systems...Parks and urban wilds should take their configuration as much from the pattern of a city’s topography and geology, water bodies, remnants of native vegetation, and air movement as from the built urban fabric."
Anne Whiston Spirn - The Granite Garden, Urban Nature and Human Design, 1984
