      The article looks at landscape architect Walter Hood, focusing on his work transforming public spaces into sources of pride for communities. Hood's experience as a black architect is discussed, noting his childhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, and his 20 years living in Oakland, California. The author reviews Hood's landscaping work in public parks in urban areas, where Hood tries to get entire neighborhoods involved in urban renewal projects. Hood comments on the ecological differences between urban communities and suburbs.
