Synopsis

This book focuses on two areas for development of a large public park in New York City in the mid-19th century: Jones' Wood and Central Park. The author examines the physical characteristics, surrounding infrastructure, benefits, and projected costs associated with each site, drawing on supporting testimony from experts such as naturalists, engineers, and landscape architects. Through the author's thorough analysis of geographic data and the advantages and disadvantages of each proposed project, this book provides a historical lens into the development of New York City's urban planning and the preservation of natural green spaces.
