Beginning in 1868, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux created a series of improvements for Buffalo, New York, augmenting the city's original plan with urban design features inspired by Second Empire Paris, including the first system of "parkways" to grace an American city. In his award-winning book, Francis R. Kowsky delves into original plans, drawings, photographs, reports, and letters to bring new perspective to the visionary design and planning principles that Olmsted and Vaux pioneered.
