Synopsis
When the great cities of North America were being developed, there was little thought to creating “green spaces. ” Frederick Law Olmsted combined his childhood love for nature with the structured beauty of the great parks of London and Paris to turn a neglected, swampy area into one of the most acclaimed parks in North America: Central Park in New York City.
