Frederick Law Olmsted is most noted for designing Central Park in
Manhattan. His method of landscape design now serves as the main model
for how we design parks in America. But James Howard Kunstler believes
that our ongoing attempts to replicate the Olmsted park have created
many urban parks with serious shortcomings. Kunstler also warns
listeners not to ask for "green space" in their towns because "green
space" is an abstraction. Instead he urges people to learn the
vocabulary of landscape architecture to be able to ask for specific
park features.Learn about our theme music, join our mailing list and discuss this show at www.kunstlercast.comDirect
