The issues of accessibility to green space that Olmsted tackled throughout his career came to the fore yet again during the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues such as providing cycling infrastructure were already being tackled by Olmsted in 1866, when with his long-term collaborator Calvert Vaux, Olmsted introduced the first cycle lane in America as part of the Ocean Parkway project in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An early influence on Olmsted was his visit in 1850 to Liverpool\u2019s Birkenhead Park. Often quoted as being the world\u2019s first public park, Birkenhead Park was the first park in England to be publicly funded and open to all. It opened in 1847 and created accessible green space for a dense urban population whilst overcoming the barriers of social class, age, and race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olmsted was inspired by this \u2018People\u2019s Garden\u2019 where \u2018the poorest British peasant is as free to enjoy it in all its parts as the British Queen\u2019 and concluded that park access should be a right of all Americans. These revolutionary principles became central to his design ethos upon his return to America, where he would design 100 public parks throughout his career. The most famous of these designs was Central Park, in which Olmsted mitigated the cramped and crowded living conditions faced by New Yorkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"294\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1-1024x294.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1-300x86.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1-400x115.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Above: Olmsted\u2019s design for Central Park \u2013 The Greenward Plan 1868<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sinuous paths found in Central Park contrast with and complement the rectilinear built form of New York. The large scale and open spaces were also a direct reaction to the density of the city. The relevance of a park to its city and the \u2018sense of place\u2019 was a design ethos demonstrated throughout Olmsted\u2019s career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winding paths also subtly directed movement, creating a landscape that \u201cinvites, encourages & facilitates movement\u201d. To facilitate vehicular movement without distracting from the landscape experience, Olmsted and his collaborator Vaux designed unique sunken roads screened by foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planting design was a naturalistic scheme with a variety of shrubs and flowers, vast open meadows, and an irregular clustering of trees. Olmsted believed that a design should not simply display the exotic plants that were deemed fashionable at the time, but instead beauty should be found in recreating nature so that the \u201cindividual qualities would gradually merge harmoniously.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Central Park is home to more than 18,000 trees, and they remove roughly one million pounds of carbon dioxide from the city\u2019s air each year.
