About the blogger (in his own words):
Joseph Bird is a Vice President at Chapman Technical Group and has been involved in the design and construction industry for more than 30 years.

"My motivation in writing this blog is to encourage the design and development of good public spaces, primarily in urban settings. The first urban parks were intended to offer city dwellers an escape from urban life, a place where they could relax in a natural setting." - Joseph Bird
