Land Matters: William H. Whyte, Meet Pokemon
<p>In a preview of the November Land Matters column, Landscape Architecture magazine editor Bill Thompson, FASLA, asks, how far is too far when it comes to commercial activities in public parks?</p>
Thompson asks whether it's okay for corporations to "rent" public parks for a day, week, month, to showcase their products. What if the activity means regular users can't comfortably use the park? Or, what if the event is actually fun and brings users to the park?
