The Web of Urban Governance
Arizona State Parks displays urban governance by engaging with many different organizations at various levels in order to accomplish common goals. For instance, we work with Federal agencies like Bureau of Land Management on land use issues. Currently, there is collaboration on managing pack goats and there interactions with Big Horn sheep on public lands. Along with that, ASP's mission is met with the help of local governments. Not only do we work with city's park and recreation departments but we work with the cities that host our parks. Since most State parks are in rural communities it is very important to establish relationships with the locals. At the same time, ASP rely's on various trail, off-highway vehicles, Audubon, conservation, etc. organizations. These organizations are specialized in various aspects and are helpful in gaining expert information for research.

Brianne, the insight you have provided is truly enlightening. I would not have thought or even guessed the depth of urban governance that Arizona State Parks is involved in.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. When looking through the list of names, the first thing I thought of when I saw that someone worked for the parks department was the show Parks and Recreation on Hulu. What is interesting is that work that park staff actually does. read multiple posts that you wrote and I must say, you are working on interesting things.
