The lecture will consider how the City Beautiful movement developed Washington, D.C. from a health-and-wellness perspective. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the National Mall was bookended by a soot-spewing train station at one end and a malarial swamp at the other. The McMillan Plan for the city sought to improve the public welfare by eliminating the railway station and swamp, and more broadly through constructing beautiful public buildings and monuments, along with ample tree-lined greenspace, pools and fountains, and recreational facilities. These design features all contribute to improvement of our health, walkability, and enjoyment living in the City Beautiful. The talk will consider how these and other kinds of beautification improved—and can still improve—public health, safety, and wellness in the District of Columbia.
