england

the country that established the public model of the park concept.

the main reason for this is that parks here were seen as part of democracy and equality. as the polarization between the country's monarchy and the general public grew, the idea of a space where everyone is equal emerged, and parks were designed with this principle in mind. one of the earliest examples of this approach is victoria park, which opened in 1845. following that, the concept of the public park spread across society through spaces like hyde park and regent's park.

in short, parks in england were positioned not just as recreational areas, but also as a tool for social balance and a symbol of equality.
