Parks of New York. The road to success

Abstract

New York is famous for its numerous parks, squares and green areas. They are an answer to the needs of modern man in terms of public urban spaces. They contain within them numerous different functions: from basic recreation to being a circulation space, providing sports facilities, services, education, as well as culture. They fulfil an important social role. They are located in various parts of the city. The paper illustrates the manner of operation of urban designers, architects, administrators, as well as users, thanks to whom the selected parks of New York City have achieved the rank of outstandingly attractive public spaces within the city today.
