基金会，“绿化城市指南”解释说，现在的城市开始思考今天。通过绿色街区和区域议程，绿色城市领导人正在倡导重新规划城市基础设施。我会建议作者继续写这些指南，以展示这一绿色演变的下一步，更新的“案例点”和更多的统计数据。这些可以被读者用来在他们的社区内建立有凝聚力的论点和计划。将发展一个关于绿化城市的有趣的书籍和叙述集。我们可以希望，这些故事最终会变得更少关于斗争，更多关于成功。该指南涵盖了广泛的主题，其受众也同样广泛：“帮助所有想要绿色他们的城市，他们的社区，甚至他们自己的非营利组织或公司，无论是政府内部还是外部，包括城市领导人和他们的工作人员以及学者，学生，城市设计专业人士，商业和社区领袖。”(p. 14）。它为那些刚开始绿化城市的人提供了一个很好的概述。对于那些更熟悉的人来说，它提供了一个令人耳目一新的坦率概述，说明了用有限的资源尝试和产生变化的感觉。这种坦率提醒你，改变是可能的，需要时间。
foundation, “The Guide to Greening Cities” explains now cities are beginning to think today. With green blocks and regional agendas, the green city leaders are advocating for a reframing of city infrastructure. I would suggest that the authors continue to write these guides to showcase the next steps in this green evolution, with updated “Case in Points” and more statistics. These be utilized by the reader to build cohesive arguments and plans within their communities. An interesting collection of books and narratives on greening cities would develop. We can hope that these narratives would eventually become less about the struggle and more about the success. The guide covers a vast spectrum of topics and its audience is equally broad: “to assist all who want to green their cities, their neighborhoods, or even their own nonprofit organizations or companies, either from inside or outside government-including city leaders and their staffs as well as academics, students, urban design professionals, and business and community leaders.” (p. 14). It reveals a good overview for those new to greening cities. For those who are more familiar, it provides refreshingly candid overview of what it’s like to try and generate change with limited resources. This candor reminds you that change is possible and takes time.
