In ''one of the best books available on the changing physical form of the nineteenth-century city in America (Arnold R. Alanen, University of Wisconsin, Madison), Schuyler analyzes efforts by the civic leaders of that time to define a new urban culture by creating open recreational and residential areas for growing cities.

""An important contribution to our understanding of a design perspective that fostered a strong American heritage of urban parks and suburban spaces.""
