One thing we could do is incorporate more public access springs for drinking water into our parks and cities. These are one of the most dynamic and underrated landscape features especially if the water is good for drinking. After drinking water directly from a good spring most other forms of land use seem shallow by comparison. Well developed groundwater resources for drinking could be centrepieces in our parks and cities in the same way as water features are now.

Do you have any of your early drawings/work to compare your work from then to see how far you skills and abilities have come?

I wish you acknowledged the existence of Seneca village prior to the construction. Many minority groups were displaced during the construction.

Central Park is a marvel of natural beauty in the landscape of an urban environment, sure. However, there were other proposals that would have served more communities by establishing numerous parks that directly served the needs of the surrounding neighborhood, not tourists. Good video though
