Washington has given the city the appearance of a 

 somewhat formal park, and this feature with the con- 

 siderable lawns and dooryards of the citizens adorned 

 with grass and shrubs and flowers helps to extend the 

 park idea. 



The main and most important principle, therefore, of 

 city planning, to repeat in another form what has been 

 already discussed, is for both architect and landscape 

 architect to remember that, in the case of such work, 

 they are designing for a community of various members 

 having various needs and desires, and that they should 

 always consider well traditions and peculiar inherited 

 conditions. They should not design for individuals, or 

 even groups of individuals, but for the whole community 

 understood in the broadest and best sense of the term.
