Park Güell, Barcelona, Spain, 2015 by @simoncroberts. The photograph is one of several I have featured in the April 2016 issue of the magazine alongside the story 'How Urban Parks Are Bringing Nature Closer To Home' by Ken Otterbourg. Until the mid 1600s urban parks were private; the exclusive domain of wealthy families and royalty. Today urban parks are increasingly being created from reclaimed lands in and around cities. Viewed as essential to the wellbeing of residents and as an effective way to promote economic development, they represent a new imaginative era of experimentation.

Designed by Antoni Gaudí as an exclusive neighborhood for Barcelona’s wealthy, Park Güell failed as a real estate venture. The city bought the development and opened it to the public. Along the popular Dragon Stairway are mosaic sculptures, including a colorful salamander that has become the park’s unofficial mascot. Above the columns a large plaza offers sweeping views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. #urbanparks #parcguell #simonroberts
