    The chapter discusses the multiple roles public parks have played in recent large-scale urban developments in East and South-East Asia. Conceived as multifunctional spaces and as the core of new urban transformations, public parks are assigned a prominent role as elements of urban distinctiveness, to enhance diversity of the urban fabric and fabricate site-specificity. At the same time, they are the ideal preferred means for implementing strategies for urban resilience and for raising environmental awareness: new urban parks are designed as the devices for adapting to urban climate change, the structures for supporting water resources management and stormwater treatment, the places to accommodate measures for the protection of urban biodiversity.

The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.
