520 # $a Chapter five follows the development of the 1995 Forest Park Master Plan as it resembles St. Louis' attempts at urban revitalization and cultural unification.
520 # $a Chapter four explores the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s and how cultural changes in the city are reflected in usages of the park.
520 # $a Chapter one introduces the topic and describes the movement toward creating public green spaces in the United States. It also connects the historical and sociological relationships that people have with nature as expressed in extant literature.
520 # $a Chapter six recaps the results of this research. The project contributes to urban studies by connecting the historical development of a city's culture with the development of its urban park. Specifically, this dissertation reveals how Forest Park serves as a mirror in which St. Louisans can view their cultural image.
520 # $a Chapter three views Forest Park, transformed for the 1904 World's Fair, as the embodiment of St. Louis' concept of an ideal future and a projection of the city's culture.
520 # $a Chapter two examines the establishment of Forest Park and how the conditions of the city and the relationships of the residents in 1876 are reflected in the design, use, and choice of location for the park.
520 # $a This study examines the historical relationship that Forest Park has had with the city of St. Louis. The guiding hypothesis is that urban parks must evolve in concert with the culture of the cities of which they are a part. The research question addressed herein is how Forest Park has reflected the cultural dynamics of St. Louis. Through examination of four historical events, this dissertation indicates ways in which Forest Park has become a physical manifestation of the culture of St. Louis, echoing how residents think, feel, and act as a community.
