Synopsis
Discover a comprehensive plan for a large urban park, from paths and pavilions to water features and public use.
This book lays out a detailed vision for designing a major Chicago park, focusing on how different zones, routes, and structures support recreation, spectacle, and civic life. It covers open greens, enclosed gardens, promenades, boating water, and a grand pavilion that hosts concerts and gatherings, with careful attention to circulation, safety, and accessibility.
The plan emphasizes clear organization of spaces—the Open Ground for active recreation, the Upper Plaisance for assemblies and picnics, and the Pavilion area for performances and socializing. It discusses how to balance formal design with natural landscapes, manage crowds, and adapt construction to resources while preserving a sense of openness and beauty.
- Layouts for major park districts, including promenades, pavilions, lakes, and promenades that connect different zones.
- Guidance on circulation, vantage points, lighting, and safety to support day and night use.
- Strategies for open grounds, enclosure, waterways, and landscape features that shape visitor experience.
- Practical considerations for phased construction and future improvements as resources allow.
Ideal for readers of urban design, landscape architecture, and public park planning who want a clear, historically informed framework for large-scale park development.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a plan from 1871 to design a sprawling South Park as part of the Chicago Park System. Within the framework of 19th-century park designs in metropolitan areas, the author presents detailed strategies for creating one large urban park from three tracts of land. Detailed plans for the park are addressed within broader historical and design contexts, with specific insights into the challenges and themes inherent in creating a large, publicly accessible green space outside of a rapidly growing city. These themes include the advantages and disadvantages of urban as opposed to 'remote' parks, the importance of natural elements in urban landscapes, and the need to balance public access with the protection of natural resources. The book is a primary source for the history of the South Park project and offers insights into urban planning and landscape design that retain relevance to urban planners and landscape designers today.
