As a journalist before becoming a poet, Whitman has a consistent interest in creating the new democratic space in American cities. Living in Manhattan and Brooklyn through his entire life, Whitman recognizes the emerging problems of urbanization in nineteenth- century American cities. In addition to merely praising the cities, Whitman has invariably emphasized the necessity of “more parks—more open places” in the cities so that the sustainable city can be embodied. Frequently visiting the urban parks such as Central Park and Prospect Park, the poet perceptively notes the fundamental importance of ideal urban parks. Through his poetry and prose, Whitman claims the necessity of artificial urban parks by regarding them as the democratic space where all classes of people communicate and the social problems of urbanization are healed. In this respect, Whitman’s vision can be compared with his contemporary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted’s landscape architecture aesthetics considering the urban park as “a democratic development of the highest significance” exactly corresponds with Whitman’s vision. Unlike Manhattan representing the civilization of technology, Whitman’s ideal city “Manahatta” strongly evokes Olmsted’s Prospect Park where idyllic scenery and democratic freedom are embodied. The urban park as an essence of landscape architecture aesthetics acts as a common denominator connecting Whitman and Olmsted, transcending the bounds of genre and media.
