Participatory eco-landscape design: the case of NRIAG eco-park in Helwan, Egypt

Abstract As cities get more crowded and polluted, eco-landscape design gains increasing attention. Open spaces play a vital role in healing the natural environment as well as the physical and mental health of the citizens. This paper presents an exploratory eco-park design project in Helwan, Egypt....
