Adapting to Expanding and Contracting Cities, Book of Abstracts, 6th Fabos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning, March 28-30, 2019, Amherst, MA.
The Fábos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning is held every three years to bring together experts who are influencing landscape planning, policy making and greenway planning from the local to international level. It is intended to highlight recent trends and expand the literature about landscape and greenway planning. The aim is to explore how landscape architects and planners from different countries have approached greenway planning and to understand how greenways have been tailored to each county’s unique geographical, cultural, and political circumstances. The theme for the 2019 conference, Urban Greenway Planning: Adapting to Expanding and Contracting Cities, explores the social and ecological potential of linear green spaces in urban areas that are experiencing decline or those that are booming. We look to understand the variety of ways in which urban greenways are conceived, designed, built, used, and maintained in cities across the globe in response to economic and demographic trends

Remembering Paul Procopio - compendium
This tribute to Paul Procopio started after the visit of Nicholas Dines, Julius Fábos and Mark Lindhult after Paul\u27s funeral ceremony with the aim of creating a more complete picture of Paul\u27s important role in shaping the emerging Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning after the retirement of Ray Otto in 1965. The assembled reflections represent the comments of contemporaries, colleagues, former students, and current department faculty, as well as those from his daughters.
This compendium will be made available to the University of Massachusetts Library and will be added to Paul’s papers, which will serve to inform our department community of Paul\u27s significant role in altering the direction of the Department at a critical time during the early days of the Environmental movement which sought to combine design and science in a more rigorous academic inquiry to serve as an information and knowledge base for the design and planning professions.
This compendium will also be distributed to all contributors, who spoke on Saturday, September 7, 2013 and to other members of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning (LARP) including the retired Faculty of LARP
