Description

On 18 March 1914, Rosario approved its first comprehensive urban park development plan. City planners outlined green spaces, recreational areas, and tree-lined avenues. The plan responded to rapid population growth and the need for public leisure areas. It improved city aesthetics and promoted public health. The project also helped structure urban expansion. Rosario’s plan became a reference for later urban planning initiatives across Argentina. Its approval marked a milestone in municipal development.
