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.
The best single volume on nineteenth-century park development, and no existing work describes the origins and evolution of the naturalistic vision as capably as The New Urban Landscape. Moreover, Schuyler handles his subject with admirable economy and grace. Reviews in American History An important contribution to our understanding of a design perspective that fostered a strong American heritage of urban parks and suburban spaces. -- Mary Corbin Sies Journal of American History
