15 янв 1902 г. - McMillan Plan

Описание:

The Senate Park Commission wrote the McMillan Plan, a landmark comprehensive planning document, to revive and update the L'Enfant Plan for Washington, D.C. The McMillan Plan focused on the city's parks and monuments. It redesigned the National Mall and determined the locations of the Lincoln Memorial, Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, Union Station, and U.S. Department of Agriculture Building, among other changes. The McMillan Plan is still the basis of most of Washington, D.C.'s planning, and helped boost the career of Daniel Burnham, who worked on the plan. It could be considered the first real expression in the United States of the City Beautiful movement, which emphasized grandeur and beautification in planning.
