PARKS, CIRCLES, AND PARKWAYS
These ‘Greenspaces’ were inspired by the ‘City Beautiful’ movement of
the late 1800’s, an attempt to correct the blighted condition of may
industrial cities and make them more livable through better design.
Landscape Architect Frederick Olmsted envisioned Buffalo Parks as a
system of parks and interconnecting parkways extending through the heart
of the city. Olmsted felt that access to green spaces for all city
residents was essential for their physical and psychological well-being.
“…the best planned city, as to its streets, public places and grounds,
in the Unites States if not the world” - Frederick Law Olmsted
