Mike is very interested in the research of Prof John Crompton, University of Texas (who also has a house in Southport) and his book The Proximate Principle.
Urban Parks Though traditional urban parks have historically attracted the most attention in terms of their property value impacts (Frederick Law Olmsted was one of the earliest proponents of the proximate principle, which he used as economic justification for park development including that of New York's Central Park in the late 19th century), recent studies remain relatively uncommon.
Given his legendary inspirational role in the architecture, design and popularization of parks in the United States, it should come as no surprise that the earliest empirical validation of the proximate principle was reported by Frederick Law Olmsted.
