i guess my point is just that i think historically people living in cities have had relatively attainable access to nature until industrial era sprawl, and that seems to be when parks were deliberately engineered >

The operative word is really "space" rather than "green" I guess--like I said about green embellishment being ok. The whole thing abt parks etc is that in 99% of street photos, you won't see the park--it's a set-aside part of the city, not a one that's integrated on every street
Remember that in a lot of the past, access to nature was not exactly sought-after...nature was what you built houses to be protected from! Moreover, a lot of urban history took place where nature wasn't exactly "green," or the greenery wasn't quite natural (eg Egypt, Mesopotamia)
seems to me that they would be in common use for commercial activity? moving goods around in carts, etc?
(doesn't invalidate your point, i guess)
