(the first comprehensive plan for an American city), the City Beautiful movement, the major plannersDaniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., Charles Mulford Robinson, John Nolen, and otherswho led the planning movement; the ascendancy of a generalist approach to the shaping of the physical city, the role of the Progressive Era reform, and the emergence of city planning as a novel field of public endeavor.
