Central Park's Rebirth and Gift to New York - Central Park is among New York City's most famous landmarks. But a nearly bankrupt New York City in the 1970's saw a city-wide disintegration of park services, which left the park crime-ridden and painted with graffiti. Enter Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, who launched the Central Park Conservancy in the 1980's and restored the park back to its former glory. Rogers chronicles the development of Central Park and six other of the city's green treasures in her book, Green Metropolis: The Extraordinary Landscapes of New York City as Nature, History, and Design.
