In the 19th century, New York City was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.
However, it was still a very young city, and as such, the city’s leaders were able to take a step back and plan what exactly they wanted to future of the city to be.
What they decided was that the city needed a park. Not just any park, but a great park that took up an enormous part of Manhattan Island.
Learn more about Central Park and how it became one of the world’s greatest parks on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
