The book The Park for Detroit: Being a Preliminary Consideration of Certain Prime Conditions of Economy for the Belle Isle Scheme was written by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1882. In this book, Olmsted discusses the creation of a park on Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. He explores the economic conditions necessary for the creation and maintenance of such a park, including the cost of land acquisition, the development of infrastructure, and the ongoing expenses associated with park maintenance. Olmsted also considers the potential benefits of a park on Belle Isle, including the improvement of public health and the promotion of social and cultural activities. The book provides a detailed analysis of the economic and social factors involved in creating a large public park in a major urban area, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in urban planning, public policy, or environmental conservation.Designed To Further Determinative Discussion Of The Lasting Interests Of The City In The Matter, With A View To A Settled Policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
