Abstract
Civic green space is in greater demand in cities globally. In particular populations moving back to the urban core in the Midwestern United States are increasingly demanding quality green spaces. Many of these spaces are largely aesthetic and fall short of providing ecological services for cities. Traditional landscape architecture praised the notion of cities that emulated the features of the surrounding countryside and those designs are echoed through modern cities in the existing park systems. The visions of these designs wove urbanity and nature into one another. Designers in the late 19th and early 20th century envisioned and created regional greenway systems to envelope the entire city in park space. These systems were designed to improve mobility, create connectivity, and impact public health throughout the city.
