Cranz, Galen, The Politics of Park Design, A History of Urban Parks

and clearly written. She describes the three main movements in
park design and usage: the Pleasure Ground (such as Franklin Park),
the Reform Park (such as the former Charlesbank) and the Recreation
Facility. A section is devoted to park design and park management.
She takes a dim view of park bureaucrats but she also has little
use for advocacy planning and grass roots organizations either.
Lots to learn and argue about in this book; it takes parks out of
nostalgia and into real life.

Geoffrey Blodgett, Journal of American History, March, 1976. A
revisionist political approach to Olmsted's theories related to

were as much social reform as civil service, tarriff, and railroad
reforms of the post-Grant era of the last century: "Urban antidote
for the restless habits of the American majority." Blodgett's
article here is an outgrowth of his 1966 book The Gentle Reformers:
Massachusetts Democrats in the Cleveland Era.
