Hardback. Zustand: Good. The story of Olmsted who designed some of North America's most famous public spaces When the great cities of North America were being built, little thought was given to the idea of creating green spaces. But these oases from the dirt, gravel, and noise of the crowded city streets were exactly what were needed.

Combining his love of nature with his admiration for the structured beauty found in the great public parks of London and Paris, Olmsted turned neglected, swampy acres on the edge of New York City into one of the most acclaimed parks in the world: Central Park.
