but this isn't true, is it? olmstead designed the emerald necklace and central park in the mid 19th century, boston common's been around forever, hyde park, etc in london have been open to the public since the 1600s. historically, urban density was in no way uniform - was it?
Urban density is rarely uniform because different parts of the city are more or less valuable to live in (due to proximity, industry, amenity, etc). Open space is also a historic constant in cities--but open GREEN space is relative novelty. The plaza, forum, market, etc are trad.
Cities are obviously much older than the 1600s--what are the famous parks of Rome or Damascus? Chang'an or Hangzhou? etc etc
oh, sure - don't know, just reached for evidence close at hand. i guess the hanging gardens of babylon are pretty famous, though.
certainly! but I also understand that they were something unusual for their time, not widely imitated
