Urban planning has been shaped by influential figures who introduced innovative concepts and practices. This course explores their lives and legacies, enhancing our understanding for the AICP exam. Urban planning originated from landscape architecture, with the first formal programs emerging in schools like Harvard's GSD. Key figures include Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture, known for Central Park and Boston's Emerald Necklace. His son, Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., contributed to urban planning with projects like Forest Hills Gardens. Daniel Burnham, a leader of the City Beautiful Movement, is famous for the Plan of Chicago. Thomas Adams promoted the Garden City movement, while Clarence Stein advanced it with the Radburn plan. Sir Raymond Unwin, another Garden City pioneer, emphasized green spaces and community designs. These pioneers laid the foundations for modern urban planning, integrating sustainability and community-focused principles.
