How Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway came to be the centerpiece of the city and its intentional influence from the Champs-Élysées boulevard in Paris.
A cultural treasure, if you will, lined with architecture and art. One that came to be due to the dream of a more perfect life known as the City Beautiful movement.in response to the accumulating dirt in industrial cities and the belief from advocates that better sanitation, parkways, civic art and improved circulation of traffic would make cities more profitable and harmonious.
It was in 1907 when the demolition of 1600 buildings began with that of a little row home just west of where the Rodin Museum stands today. It was that same year of 1917 when two French architects, Jacques Gréber and Paul Cret, collaborated and created what would be the inspiration for the Parkway. As the Benjamin Franklin Parkway ends with the Museum of Art the Champs-Élysées ends with the Arc de Triomphe.
