The Perfect Architecture Of Minnesota Landscape Design


The city of Minneapolis can certainly be proud of many things. They are attached to St. Paul, which is home to the largest mall in the United States. It is a beautiful city, with lots of charm and Midwest hospitality. Hotels are reasonably priced and have all the amenities you could ever want nearby. One of the things Minneapolis can be proud of is the fact that when population density is used as a marker, the city boasts the most park square footage per person than anywhere else. In fact, 17% of the city is made up of park and park lands. This is not a feature that happens by accident. The city made it a priority. It had plenty of funding and support for its landscape architects, one of whom was Horace Cleveland, one of the foremost landscape architects of his time, and is responsible for many of the most beautifully preserved historical areas in the northeastern United States.
