From neighborhood parks to campuses to entire communities, Olmsted’s work was always about shaping identity through landscape.

We can feel that in places like Central Park—where people don’t simply pass through, but use the space to form memories, gather, protest, celebrate, and see themselves as part of something larger. Over time, those experiences become part of how a community understands itself across generations.

In the Olmsted Network’s next free webinar on May 19, we’ll explore how that sense of identity takes shape across different kinds of landscapes—and how it continues to evolve. Register at https://olmsted.org/events/conversations-with-olmsted-historic-landscapes-future-communities/
