Team members: Ryan Raquet, Ryan Higbie, Caleb Eljach. Our group plans to research the effects that parks in urban areas have on the people that live there. We will make an argument for why more parks should be made in these urban areas.
I think this is a very good, specific topic. I never would of thought of arguing for something like placing more parks in urban areas. I am looking forward to seeing the research that you find and how you create your argument.
I like your topic. You can go in many directions with this. For example you can explain the affects on children (parks and playgrounds are great places for kids to make friends and get exercise especially if they do not have backyards).
Very interesting topic choice. I'm sure you could get a lot of personal stories about how parks in urban areas improved individual's quality of life. Also, you could mention how some parks help create a community for a city, a place where people can gather, like Central Park.
As a sophomore in the landscape architecture program, I was very pleased when i saw this topic. I have conducted a lot research myself about urban parks and why people build them. The library has several scholarly sources on urban parks, playgrounds and recreational areas that you should check out. I would also recommend looking into park design and commenting on what kind of parks are successful.
This is a very good topic. You could even show the ways parks can mentally effect people, if they can walk to the park for a lunch break on a busy day.
This is a great topic. I personally know from experience how parks affect the urban areas. I can't wait to see the information you get for your project.
I agree with Asia but would like to add that this is really up the alley of Landscape Architecture students. If your looking for student and/or professor interviews head to Lee Hall and browse around the studios on the second floor. There are friendly students working on projects 24/7 and you can usually find professors too.

I agree on the importance of these urban area parks. Be careful to not be trapped by limited pros to this.
this a very creative, "outside the box" idea. You should be able to get some very good data on this kind of stuff... bring in a lot of stats you know?

Some people who can help you on this topic are architecture majors.
