Abstract
Challenges the 'invisibility' of parks and green spaces within current asset management planning. Explains why traditional accounting methods are unhelpful when valuing assets – such as parks – that can appreciate over time. It suggests a new way of valuing parks which takes better account of the financial value they bring to society.
