The Park and the People
The Park and the People: A History of Central Park | Roy Rosenzweig, Elizabeth Blackmar
2 posts
Delineate the politicians, business people, artists, immigrant laborers, and city dwellers who are the key players in the tale. In tracing the park's history, the writers also give us the history of New York. They explain how squabbles over politics, taxes, and real estate development shaped the park and describe the acrimonious debates over what a public park should look like, what facilities it should offer, and how it should accommodate the often incompatible.

#SummerSouls #park Every time I have gone to New York, I try to visit some part of Central Park. A treasure! When it was first built, the common complaint was it was too far north, the city would develop that far out.😂 New York wouldn‘t be the same without this amazing space.
