| Olmsted
sought to create a new kind of community. This new community was one that had been
carefully planned for the single purpose of domestic life. Olmsted wanted to join the best
aspects of the city and country life by linking the residential suburb with the central
city working place by rapid transit. He saw residential suburbs in which landscape
architects would design residential grounds with numerous "open air apartments"
by which domestic activities could be moved outside the home. |
