Olmsted understood the importance of nature in our lives. He would be appalled by what Americans have done to his vision of nation that truly respects nature.
This video is just wrong about quite a number of matters. One thing rings true, Olmsted was uniquely brilliant, came to the fore at critical moments and changed the way we live in cities and connect with nature.
Grew up listening to the stories of Frederick Law Olmsted from my grandmother since he was her great uncle.
"Each individual, adding by his mere presence to the pleasure of all others"- LOVE THAT QUOTE (and it still works almost 150 years later!)
That is one of our favorite Olmsted quotes as well!
I wish this was a little longer video about the Man.
