Question

(1) A major hub of industrialization, New York City was dominated by buildings and had very few parks or open spaces in the early 1800s. (2) In 1853, the City of New York uses the power of eminent domain to acquire 778 acres from 59th Street to 106th Street that would

comprise Central Park. (3) The cost to build Central Park in the 1850s and 1860s was $13.9
million which exceeded the original budget by more than 900 percent. (4) However, the
tax revenues generated in the years that followed more than compensated for the cost of
building Central Park.
