Big Plans for a Little Rock Park

摘要

The freeway construction of the 1960s decimated scores of American cities, among them Little Rock, Arkansas. One of the casualties was the urban fabric around that city's oldest park, MacArthur Park. The elbow of two freeways skirts the 33-acre park south of the city's downtown and severs it from its core neighborhoods. "In 1954, 75 homes fronted on the park," says Conway+Schulte Architects' Bill Conway, FAIA. "Now there are 16."
