Civilopedia entry[]

What constitutes a city park? The gardens of Ashurbanipal were certainly in the middle of the city, but these were closed to commoners. One of the first identifiable Arab cities, Qaryat al-Faw, was termed the “city of gardens," but what exactly did that reference? Green spaces within temples and churchyards were places for contemplation and relaxation, but the idea of a city park for the population implies the public's needs are served by a centralized city plan. Further, it implies that relaxation in green space is one of these needs. Those needs arose out of industrialization, as the population moved into the city and into cramped tenements. The notion of a communal space for relaxation soon entered the consciousness of urban planners. Some parks were royal hunting grounds (e.g. Hyde Park) or military mustering grounds (e.g. Yoyogi Park), whereas others were inventions of urban planners themselves (e.g. Central Park). The most extreme of these design forms was Le Corbusier’s Garden City, a plan for cities that involved setting housing away from the city center and surrounding it with green spaces. The irony of the Garden City project was that its promised "relaxation" often led to increased alienation – turns out people don’t always appreciate living in isolated bubbles.
