Structuring a Landscape, Structuring a Sense of Place: The Enduring Complexity of Olmsted and Vaux's Brooklyn Parkways
Eastern and Ocean Parkways in Brooklyn, New York, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and built in the 1870s, are exemplars of the American version of the multi-way boulevard street form, a complex street type that allows many diverse activities to exist in close proximity to each other. Their physical form remains today much as originally built, despite changing attitudes toward street design that have worked against street complexity. This paper tells the story of these streets: how they were conceived, how they evolved, how they were managed, how they survived, and the impact they have had on urban form. It also describes how these streets helped create a unique sense of local place, how local place making intersected with larger, non-local forces, and the conflicts over meaning and use that ensued.
