The 16 smaller parks naturally wouldn't be remotely as iconic as Central Park, and realistically a single park is more easily protected in practice from being destroyed than when there are lots of "spares", but damn, New York would look so much friendlier and be so much healthier with all of those...

better solution: bigger and plentiful parks. The urban expansion is too stupid. It may had worked that way before because of the technological constraints but now, we have better materials, better techniques/methods as well as better technology. We can build up and down instead of spreading out. We also require less space for other processes. Imagine the entire coast line of the islands and the coastlines of the mainland surrounding the island were still heavily nature oriented with only a few sections for commercial purpose like ports and harbour or transportation points. Majority of processes that are in NYC now require little to no brick and mortar as most are jobs that can be done online. The only ones would still require spaces would be for storage, power (electricity), water, and trash. Almost most production jobs are done elsewhere. Other processing that are common would be groceries and butcher shops. We don't live in logs, skyscraper capabilities are getting better so you can fit more people in them instead of building buildings next to each other (because of weight limitations). As most underground of the island is fairly developed, land sinking from the weight wouldn't be an issue since the base or foundation is unified. Parts of the island wouldn't sink but the entire island would instead. So it's a feasible problem. that can easily be provided a solution.

Yes and NYC has smaller parks too and look them up, however you would have ended up with a more Chicago problem where no parks or plants are in most of city or micro parks too small to help people especially now a bunch of areas with parks are no longer a part of actual Chicago. Problem here in Chicago compared to 99% of other cities is how parts after WWII grew so quick people could not keep up, probably faster then any city in USA due to having people of non white race moving north due to South East USA keeping Jim Crow laws longer then rest of USA even into 1970's for some parts.

John Griscom was a genius and a visionairy, yet his wikipedia is like 50 words. My God imagine being born when George Washington was fighting the brits and ending up with a mind that, in the 1800s, understood how 2000s and on property development and related unequality unfolds. He was spot on, we needed 8, or 16 parks, not one big one. EDIT: you guys need to realise; this was a man with an egalitarian, democratic, looking after the downtrodden in the big cities, mindset in the age of GEORGE WASHINGTON. EVERYTHING we have going on right now he expected while the industrial revolution didnt even reach the entire county.

Many great European parks used to be private gardens owned by the royalty and aristocracy and they simply became open to the public at some point. Meanwhile, in NY, a city of 750k people there was not a single man willing to give their land to the public. It seems the good of the people was the least of their concern.

@Isperada

3 ай бұрын

Royalty and aristocracy already had a park set up that they weren't using for anything other than a garden. And since thet had such large private gardens they most likely had money to burn. Out of the 75k people only a few had that much land, and they were more businessmen, who obtained the land to gain more money. Plus all that land was undeveloped so no matter if they wanted to make a park or business, money needed to go in. Less about goodness of people, but more econimics.

Only problem was over time it never did reach that level that NYC was able to achieve

John Griscom was way ahead of his time he KNEW what would happen and it exactly happened like he predicted: super sleek tall penthouse skyscrapers now line the southern edge of Central Park, with rooftops taller than the One World Trade Center's roof, and much higher housing prices on the border of the park. Had Jones Woods existed, there would be even more sleek tall skyscrapers between both parks, undoubtedly changing the face of Manhattan but not really changing the condition of lower class people. Griscom's idea is more similar to what usually happens in most European cities and other American cities like Chicago or Salt Lake City with smaller parks scattered here and about which does provide a more homogenous "aeration" of the city as well as easier access for people to whichever park is closest to them, undoubtedly healthier. Central Park is quite a massive feat and it's always nice to have a large enough green area for people to take a break from the grey urban forests but it's a park that feels very "elitist" and restricted to the wealthier population, even if it's open to everyone and there are still a wide array of people visiting it.

I love the quote "deficient in sound reasoning"

For 1800 standards this is radical eco renewal something most cities today wouldn’t dare try Also John Griscom practically predicted the future knowing the rich would obviously benefit having a large park compared to those in the inner city who wouldn’t be able to afford to go there dude was ahead of his time his idea should’ve been thought more about before approving Central Park

I really hope you do a follow up to this going into the details of how it was built after being finalized. And also talk about Seneca village, which was seized through eminent domain.

Hoog, I urge you to include *Seneca Village* in your next segment on Central Parks History. They were a community of Black homeowners who were dispossessed of land via eminent domain. Ultimately, they gave up their houses and were not compensated properly. It's a major aspect of Central Park History. Loved the video!

This. Archaeological research has confirmed Seneca Village was a middle class community living in fully furnished houses with expensive goods that they were not given time or resources to move. The contemporary writings that describe it as "shantytowns" are now known to have been assassination pieces written to gain the support of racists who would never dream of actually going and looking at the churches, schools, and homes of their African-American neighbors. There's an abundance of current documentaries about this; it's widely available information. By blithely repeating the propaganda of the time as though it were historical fact... this video kind of shoots its credibility in the foot.

NYC should have kept joneswood too. They didn’t realize how big a city could become. The double park plan was thinking centuries in advance, but didn’t register.

The thing is London has got some huge parks, but it also has smaller ones dotted sound. London is extremely green. Smaller and more spread out arguably would have been better but you’d still end up either way with rich people living round them, they’d just be more spread out.

Thanks for providing this very interesting information about Central Park's creation! Our state capital of NSW, Sydney (Australia), has many parks in the city and surrounding suburbs, including Hyde Park in the center of the central business district (CBD). However, despite the combined parkland of the Botanical Gardens & The Domain (to the east of the CBD) more than doubling the area that city workers & visitors can access, the reality is that the total area occupied by Sydney's CBD would almost fit inside NYC's Central Park!
