Descripción: Canada's Digital Collections. Government of Canada.
«Public parks were first developed in England in the nineteenth century as a response to the negative effects of increasing industrialization and urbanization.

Eventually North Americans became aware of the parks movement and adapted it for their cities. The public park came to be viewed as an integral part of the expanding city.»
