As the population of New York City grew in the 1850s, open spaces began to disappear on the dense street grid. Investigate Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s plan for a grand public space called Central Park from our New York at Its Core gallery Port City, 1609-1898. Then put on your urban planner hat and design your own version of Central Park!
