[ [ "Unnamed sports bundle streaming service" ], [ "Introduction", "The '''unnamed sports bundle streaming service''' is a proposed United States sports-focused streaming service to be operated as a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (via majority-owned subsidiary ESPN Inc.), Fox Corporation (via Fox Sports), and Warner Bros.", "Discovery (WBD, via TNT Sports), each of which will own one-third of the venture.", "The service was announced in principle on February 6, 2024, and is scheduled to launch by fall 2024, subject to the negotiation of final contracts between the partners.The service would bundle virtually all of the U.S. national sports broadcast rights controlled by the three companies in a single subscription, with limited entertainment and news content.", "It would be specifically targeted to cord-cutters and cord-nevers who do not currently subscribe to either a traditional cable or satellite TV package or an existing mainstream virtual MVPD such as YouTube TV." ], [ "Branding", "The initial announcement indicated the service would have a \"new brand\", though that brand was not identified immediately.A few days after the announcement, one report indicated that the partners were strongly considering the name '''Hulu Sports''', which would brand the service as an extension of Disney's general-interest streaming service Hulu, which similarly began its existence as a joint venture between several media companies.", "However, other names were still under consideration at that point.Prior to this report, the service had been unofficially termed \"'''Spulu'''\" (as in ''sp''orts H''ulu'') by some commentators, referencing the similarities in the services' origins." ], [ "Content", "The service is expected to function similarly to a virtual MVPD in that it will carry almost all of the three companies' English-language U.S. linear broadcast and cable channels that offer sports content, including the ABC and Fox broadcast networks; general sports channels ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, FS1, and FS2; college sports channels ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPNU, and SEC Network; and the three primary WBD cable networks that carry sports coverage: TBS, TNT, and TruTV.", "It will also include access to the content of Disney's existing direct-to-consumer sports service ESPN+.The streaming service will provide access to the same sports events that are currently offered by the above-listed services, which include the majority of national broadcasting rights to NBA, NHL, and MLB games, the College Football Playoff and almost all NCAA-organized championships, as well as select NFL matches, among many other properties.However, the service will not provide access to sports events controlled by regional sports networks, third-party streaming services such as Prime Video and Apple TV+, and other major traditional broadcasters, particularly Paramount Global (owner of CBS and Paramount+) and NBCUniversal (owner of NBC and Peacock).", "Moreover, Paramount and NBCUniversal were not invited to participate in the venture.The companies have stated that all programming will be offered on a non-exclusive basis, as the channels and content will continue to be made available through existing TV providers and/or the companies' respective standalone services.While subscribers will be able to watch any entertainment and news programming that regularly airs on these channels in addition to sports, the service will not carry other channels owned by these companies that are typically included in cable bundles, such as CNN or Fox News.", "However, in situations where sports broadcasts are carried by the companies' other channels, those channels may be carried temporarily as \"pop-up\" feeds." ], [ "Distribution", "The service will be available individually through a new bespoke app, or as part of a bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and/or Max., pricing for the service has not yet been announced, however reports have indicated that the regular price per month would be higher than US$30, and likely at least $45." ], [ "Management, regulatory and legal concerns", "The service will be overseen by a separate management team at arms-length from the three partners.The formation of the joint venture will not, according to the companies, affect their respective plans to compete with each other for sports broadcast rights going forward, nor will the joint-venture service seek any exclusive rights of its own.", "Because of this, as well as the statement that all content will continue to be available through other platforms, many analysts have indicated they did not expect the formation of the venture to raise antitrust concerns.", "Nonetheless, the existing sports-focused vMVPD FuboTV expressed concerns following the announcement about the venture's impact on \"fair market competition\"; the United States Department of Justice also plans to review the terms of the joint venture once it is finalized.Traditional cable and satellite providers are also reviewing the plans in regards to whether they may violate most favored nation clauses in existing contracts, unless they are allowed to also start offering lower-priced sports-focused packages.", "Analysts noted that some of these providers have been \"begging for the right\" to offer cheaper sports packages for years, but have been blocked by programmers like Disney, Fox and WBD." ], [ "References" ] ]

[ [ "Oakwood Cemetery (Montgomery, Alabama)" ], [ "Introduction", "'''Oakwood Cemetery''' is a historic cemetery in Montgomery, Alabama.Strictly speaking, it is two cemeteries, Oakwood itself that is owned by the city and the next-door '''Oakwood Cemetery Annex''', the location of the Hank Williams Memorial and the graves of four governors of Alabama, which was in private hands until its owner died in 2004 without directing to whom the property should pass, ownership of which thus passed to the state of Alabama, although the Annex has been maintained by the city since 2009 and a proposal was put forward in 2013 to transfer ownership to the city.Partly sandwiched in between the two is the '''St Margaret’s Cemetery''' owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile.Until rectified in 2017, the Archdiocese had been accidentally burying Catholics on city property since 1863, the deeds to St Margaret's having been drawn up in the 1850s and the error not having been spotted in the 1863, 1945, or 1981 extensions but only when the records were checked for a fourth extension.In 2017 the Archdiocese swapped some of its land, on which the city had similarly placed an access road running on what had theretofore been thought to be city property in between the Archdiocesian and Annex cemeteries, for the city land that it had accidentally been using; redrawing the boundaries between the Archdiocesian and city property, expanding St Margaret's to cover , and returning existing gravesites to Catholic-owned land without the need for reinterrment.The cemeteries are accessed from Upper Wetumpka Road, with three entrances for Oakwood proper, St Margaret's, and the Annex in order along that road in the direction from the intersection of Ripley Street and Jefferson Street.They are close to Montgomery Police Station." ], [ "Contents", "The Oakwood cemetery, owned by the city of Montgomery, opened in 1819 and covers 120 acres, and includes a plot for dead soldiers of the American Civil War.Some 800 Confederate soldiers are buried here, alongside 198 Union soldiers.Their graves are on a hill adjacent to the burial site of William Lowndes Yancey and his wife Sarah Yancey, who died in Athens, Georgia, 20 years after he did, but who was buried alongside him.The cemetery land was donated to the city by two of its founders when two places were combined into one, John Scott who lived in the then East Alabama and Andrew Dexter who lived in the then New Philadelphia, and accrued further land as the years passed.As of 2014 there were 200,000 burial sites in the cemetery.The oldest part is known as the old graveyard, and is a free burial site, where there were no racial segregation rules, and many slavers are buried alongside the people that they enslaved.John Scott originally donated the Scott's Free Burying Ground.There are two graves of enslaved people that are marked as such, one simply named \"Jim\", owned by the Sebussier family and whose grave is marked by a brick enclosure, and a Susan Tooley buried in November 1856 next to him, both at the top of the old cemetery's horseshoe-shaped area.Many people are simply marked as \"unknown\".Some of these died in the 1918 influenza pandemic, when the death rate was so high that burials were rushed and records not accurately kept.Other \"unknowns\" include an infant who was found in Catoma Creek, a 13-year-old girl found in a railroad car in 1895, a death from strychnine poisoning, and someone found drowned near the wharf in 1883.A forgotten pauper's cemetery was rediscovered in a vacant lot close to Oakwood Cemetery in 2009, and there is still a section of the cemetery for vagrants, the homeless, and the destitute.The pauper's cemetery is now the Children of God section of Oakwood Cemetery.Other named sections include the Land of Peace, where many Jewish people are buried.A section of Oakwood near to the railroad contains graves that are anonymous for a different reason: they are the 47 graves of people who were executed by public hanging.Although the graves themselves have no names, the cemetery records have them, albeit that they are sealed from public knowledge.Also buried in Oakwood Cemetery Annex are pilots from England, Canada, and France who died during World War 2, while training at Maxwell Air Force Base.There are 78 RAF students buried in the cemetery, near to the Hank Williams Memorial, who died between June 1941 and February 1942.Their graves were originally marked by wooden crosses, but by October 1943 they had granite headstones.Although it had been intended that all cadets who died during training were to be buried here, before November 1941 when burials started here some of them had already been buried in other locations, in sites donated by local churches, veteran's organizations, and private citizens, and were reinterred here by February 1942.From 1981 onwards, care of the RAF section of the cemetery was maintained by a private Birmingham company under contract to the Canadian Agency of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.RAF officers who are stationed at Maxwell hold a ceremony in the RAF section on Veterans Day.The aforementioned memorial to Hank Williams is a twin set of monoliths, one for Hank and one for Audrey Williams, surrounded by artifical grass.In 1981 one of his biographers observed that it was pretty much the only memorial to Williams remaining in Montgomery, the Empire Theatre no longer celebrating him and his mother's old boardinghouses having been redeveloped, and that the city's boosters do not have any signage directing tourists seeking Williams to the Annex.Country music journalist Martha Hume observed in 1982 that the Annex was not signposted and not even listed in the Montgomery telephone directory.In 1991, a statue of him across from Montgomery City Hall (on S. Perry Street) was unveiled, and there is a museum dedicated to him in downtown Montgomery.Odd burial customs to be found in the cemetery include quartz bottles of water lining some graves, following an old superstition that it made water available to the dead in the afterlife, akin to grave goods.===Racial segregation and historic funerals===Several funerals at the main cemetery and the Annex have had notable effects on the day-to-day business of Montgomery.", "At the funeral of William Calvin Oates one reporter observed that it seemed that \"half the people of the city had gathered\" in the cemetery.The 1884 funeral of James White Hardie, local businessman and representative for Talladega County in the Alabama state legislature, was marked by the city Chamber of Commerce agreeing to close all of their businesses so that they could all attend the funeral.Hank Williams's funeral, recorded as the largest funeral in Montgomery's history and one of the largest in the entire Southern United States, had a line two and a half city blocks long between the Montgomery City Auditorium and the Oakwood Cemetery Annex, with three trucks required in order to handle the wreaths that were placed at the Annex, and (according to R. L. Lampley and Marvin Stanley, respectively the Fire and Assistant Police Chiefs in charge) 100 fire and police officers managing a crowd conservatively estimated at between 15,000 and 20,000 people.Thousands more visited the grave in the Annex in the days to follow, with an editorial in the ''Montgomery Advertiser'' remarking that \"Never in the history of this town have so many thronged to the funeral of a citizen as they did in the case of Hank Williams.", "Bankers, jurists, physicians, writers, governors and philanthropists have been returned unto dust in Montgomery, but the coffin of none was followed as was that of the dead singer.", "\"There were 200 African American mourners in the segregated seating in the Auditorium, the editor of the ''Advertiser'' Joe Azbell recounting that \"They came from everywhere, dressed in their Sunday best, babies in their arms, hobbling on crutches and canes, Negroes, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, small children, and wrinkle faced old men and women.", "\"Another funeral whose mixed-racial attendance was remarked upon by a reporter for the ''Advertiser'' was that of Thomas Goode Jones, which was attended, the reporter noted, by hundreds of people that included large groups of African Americans watching as their \"friend\" was buried.The ''Advertiser'' also reported the cross-racial attendance of the funeral on 1909-03-28 of Bob Goodwyn, observing that “In his death, one-armed Bob Goodwyn, the negro ferryman, achieved a something as few of his race have done — for at his grave in Oakwood Cemetery yesterday, whites and blacks mingled with little distinction; the two people mingled their voices in the ‘Nearer My God to Thee’; both bowed to tender, revertant homage to one whom they hailed as a hero.”.His pallbearers were eight white boys from Starke's School and hundreds of Montgomery locals attended.Goodwyn, known as \"Old Bob\" or \"One-Armed Bob\" who lost his right arm in an industrial accident in a gin shop, had worked as a ferryman across the Alabama River, employed by W. A. Henderson of the Southern Railway.On 1908-04-11 he had rescued E. W. Bliss, a ticket purchase agent for the L&N, from drowning in the Alabama River with his 16-year-old friend from the Western Railway, H. Q. Daniels who was a machinist.In response to a suggestion from reader Mrs William Knox, the ''Advertiser'' organized a collection for Goodwyn, and on 1908-05-30 he was awarded a gold medal for heroism by Montgomery mayor W. M. Teague.On 1909-03-09, Goodwyn drowned in the same river along with four others, whilst crossing it in a batteau trying to reach Goodwyn's ferry that was parked on the opposite bank.The batteau catching on the ferry cable caused it to capsize, and Goodwyn drowned when he had to lose grip on the overturned boat in order to try to catch with his one arm a rope that was thrown to him by rescuers.He was originally to have been buried in Lincoln Park Cemetery, but Bliss paid for a burial lot on Oakwood.There were no floral arrangements for the funeral, but many took to picking nearby flowers and dropping them on the grave.The actual location of his grave is unknown, not being recorded in the cemetery records, although it is known to be somewhere near to the front of the cemetery on its main drive.His gold medal, recorded as donated to the Alabama Department of Archives and History because his mother did not want it, has since been lost.In a 2024 retrospective the ''Advertiser'' noted that its reporting included the word \"negro\", which was an automatic racial addition by the ''Advertiser'' at the time for any African Americans.It similarly observed how the remarks of Sheriff Horace Hood at the medal award ceremony were tuned to a white audience and pointedly othered Goodwyn, talking of how the medal would protect him when he wore it and how it assured \"all people of your race that they have the good will of the white people when they perform their duties, and show good will to the dominant race, and this good will, as you know, Bob, is not to be despised\".Goodwyn's medal and funeral, according to Montgomery historian Richard Bailey was one of the \"pockets of incidents that went against the status quo\" in Alabama history.===Notable individual burials and monuments===*James E.

road in Taunton Street, and opening in 1868, Swindon's Victorian Turkish Baths are the oldest continuously running baths of their type in the British Isles.", "They currently consist of three interconnecting hot rooms, a cold plunge pool, showers, and a large cooling-room for relaxation.", "Complementing the Turkish baths are Russian baths and a \"spa pool\".The baths are currently closed for a major refurbishment." ], [ "History", "New Swindon was originally a company town built for its workers by the Great Western Railway Company.", "In addition to housing, the company provided educational, religious, and health facilities, the latter under the aegis of its Medical Fund Society.In February 1858, its Mechanics’ Institute invited David Urquhart to talk about the baths built by his Manchester Foreign Affairs Committee seven months earlier.", "But due to the death of his baby son, Urquhart’s close associate, Stewart Erskine Rolland, spoke instead.", "Asked about the cost of such a bath, Rolland offered to build one for £100, able to accommodate 100 persons daily, and costing from fourpence to sixpence a day for fuel.", "But Turkish baths were still new, and the offer was not taken up.", "Swindon Insitute.", "Slipper baths can be seen bottom left of plan.", "Shortly afterwards, the company directors were asked whether Turkish baths could be built behind the Mechanics' Institute (which already had eight slipper baths on the first floor).", "They agreed, provided the fund, which was required to be self-supporting, paid for it.", "This temporarily killed the proposal, but further discussions were held, most notably in July 1861 when a meeting chaired by William Gooch reconsidered the subject.", "£250 was a large sum to find, and an opposing amendment defeated the proposal.", "But it was soon easily recognised that eight slipper baths, without any showers or changing facilities, was totally inadequate for the growing Swindon.", "In February 1863, it was decided to build a new bathhouse in the yard of The Barracks, nearby.The baths, now overseen by an elected committee, and managed for them by a Mr West, had to move again in 1868 when The Barracks was converted into a Methodist chapel.", "A new bathhouse was to be erected on a narrow triangle of land fronting Faringdon road.", "Meanwhile, West was successfully running a small Turkish bath, at his home, and in September, the Baths Committee of Management minuted that it would be ‘advantageous to members’ if Turkish baths were included in the new building.The bathhouse would be divided into two with an entrance to the slipper baths from Faringdon Road and to the Turkish baths from Taunton Street.", "There would be two hot rooms, a shampooing room, and a cooling-room with nine changing cubicles.", "West resigned as manager of the original slipper baths, and later, the committee accepted his tender of £30 to run the new baths for 15 months, ‘he to provide all the sheets and accessories needed’ as part of the deal.", "The Turkish baths were open from 6am till 9pm on weekdays, from 2 till 9 on Saturdays, and were reserved for women for three hours every Wednesday afternoon.", "There were two prices for members, which would have separated the workers from their supervisors and managers.The new building opened on 1 October 1868, West having closed his own establishment and, by 1869, moved house to Taunton Street.", "By 1878, leasing the baths by tender ceased, and the manager became a paid employee.", "Opening hours were shorter, from 1pm till 8pm daily, but for society members and their families, they were now free.In 1891, the company built a large red brick ‘Queen Anne’ style building \tin Faringdon road opposite the existing baths.", "Designed by local architect, John James Smith, it housed a new dispensary, treatment rooms, and separate swimming pools for men and women.Part of the original plunge pool tilingPartial view of the two hottest roomsNew Turkish and slipper baths were opened in December 1906 to bring both sets of baths together, with their own entrance round the corner.", "The men’s Turkish baths were well designed, and although, over the years, alterations were made, the structure and appearance of the three original hot rooms remain virtually unchanged.", "The adjoining shampooing room had two marble slabs and a circular needle shower, and shampooing continuing until well into the 1990s.", "In its place are three additional modern showers.", "The men’s baths also include a Russian steam bath and a cold plunge pool.", "When it was built, the pool, at 9ft wide, was twice the width of most of those later provided by local authorities.", "When the baths were refurbished, probably at the end of the 1980s, it was split lengthwise, and one half is now aerated like a whirlpool while the original tiling has been replaced by plain tiles.", "The cooling-room in the 1940sStained glass door panelThe cooling-room was particularly spacious, with mosaic floors and, at the other end, a large fireplace.", "The original women’s Turkish baths on the first floor have been closed since at least the mid-1950s, though the door leading into them remains, complete with its coloured glass panel designed by the company’s Mr Rice.", "The door now leads into offices.", "The women’s baths were smaller than the men’s, with only two hot rooms.", "These led off a shampooing room, with its slab, needle shower, wash basin, and drinking fountain.", "A cooling-room, toilet, and six dressing cubicles completed the suite.", "The hot rooms were directly above the men’s, so that the heated air could be ducted vertically up from the basement furnace.The Turkish baths were but one of the facilities \tprovided for its workforce by the GWR through its Medical Fund Society, a service so comprehensive that it was used as a model for the future National Health Service.", "And although Swindon’s

the Institute of Parks and Gardens received ISO 14001 certification for the conservation and management of green spaces and public roadside trees.Gardening in Barcelona has had an uneven evolution over time: the first significant project, the Labyrinth of Horta park, dates back to the 18th century; the first large public park in Barcelona, the Citadel, was opened in the 19th century; but most of the green areas in the city date from the 20th century, a period in which public gardening in the Catalan capital was given a great boost.", "In this last century gardening has developed mainly in four phases: the first planning carried out by Léon Jaussely in his plan of connections and by Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí, author of an ambitious plan of concentric green areas throughout the city, from Montjuïc to the Besòs; the post-war period saw a setback in the creation of green spaces, mainly due to real estate speculation that led to an increase in the population due to immigration, as well as the priority given to road traffic due to the increase in the number of cars.", "With the arrival of democracy there was a new impulse to the creation of landscaped spaces, with a predominance of architectural design and a multipurpose sense of space, which added to the plant element service areas and leisure and recreational facilities for the population; finally, towards the end of the century a more naturalistic trend emerged, more in line with the new ideas of ecology and environmental sustainability, with concern not only for parks and large green areas but also for the placement of groves in streets and promenades of the city.Depending on their characteristics, Barcelona's parks and gardens are divided into several typologies: \"historical\", those created before 1950, such

on a plain about 11 km long and 6 km wide, bounded on its sides by the sea and by the Sierra de Collserola —with the summit of Tibidabo (516.2 m) as its highest point— as well as by the deltas of the Besòs and Llobregat rivers.", "The city's climate is Mediterranean, of the sub-humid maritime xeophytic type, with an average annual temperature of 16.4 °C and a relative humidity of 70%.", "Rainfall is mainly between October and April, scarce in winter and minimal in summer, with rainfall of 578.74 l/m2 (1997-2002).The vegetation is Mediterranean, with a predominance of perennial species.", "The typical forest is ''encinar'' (''Quercus ilex''), and there are also some subtropical species, which need constant irrigation to live outdoors, such as the ''naranjo'' (''Citrus × sinensis''), ''limonero'' (Citrus × limon), mimosa (''Acacia dealbata''), araucaria (''Araucaria heterophylla''), eucalyptus (''Eucalyptus globulus'') and palm (''Phoenix dactylifera'').", "Some species originating in Japan, which has a climate similar to the Mediterranean but with more rainfall in summer, have been acclimatized, such as the pittosporum (''Pittosporum tobira'') and the spindle (''Euonymus japonicus'').", "Of conifers, the most adaptable is the Atlas cedar (''Cedrus atlantica''), as well as cypress (''Cupressus sempervirens'') and thuja (''Thuja standishii'').", "Species from other regions of the world with Mediterranean climates, such as California, South Africa, Australia and Chile, have also adapted.In relation to each specific area of the city, vegetation can vary according to climatic conditions, water resources, altitude, sun exposure, erosion levels, rainfall and wind action.", "In favorable conditions, species such as pine (''Pinus pinea''), holm oak (''Quercus ilex'') and wild olive (''Olea europaea sylvestris'') predominate; in less favorable conditions, there are phytosystems called maquis, with trees such as the carob tree (''Ceratonia siliqua'') and the palm tree (''Phoenix dactylifera''), or shrubs such as the strawberry tree (''Arbutus unedo''), the laurel (''Laurus nobilis''), the myrtle (''Myrtus communis''), the rosemary (''Salvia rosmarinus'') or the mastic tree (''Pistacia lentiscus''); and in unfavorable conditions, there is garrigue-type vegetation, with free soil and little growth, with xerophytic species such as the ''gayomba'' (''Spartium junceum''), lavender (''Lavandula angustifolia''), thyme (''Thymus vulgaris'') and salvia (''Salvia officinalis'').Lawn mower in Cervantes Park.The city's tree grove is composed of a total of 140 species, of which the most common are: plane tree (''Platanus x hispanica''), honeyberry (''Celtis australis''), elm (''Ulmus pumila''), Japanese acacia (''Sophora japonica''), acacia (''Robinia pseudoacacia''), rosewood (''Tipuana tipu''), \"bottle tree\" (''Brachychiton populneum''), Lombardy poplar (''Populus nigra italica)'', Japanese privet (''Ligustrum lucidum''), chinaberry tree (''Melia azedarach''), black maple (''Acer negundo'') and bitter orange (''Citrus aurantium'').In 1983 the Barcelona City Council initiated a Catalog of Trees of Local Interest, which classifies a group of trees, palms and shrubs that have special relevance due to their botanical value, historical interest or any other significant component for the conservation of the city's green areas.", "These trees are specially protected, as they cannot be uprooted or affected by any urban development operation.", "The choice of catalogued species is made by means of a series of parameters that analyze each specimen according to aspects such as age, measurements, history or aesthetic qualities ( see here the list of trees of local interest).The actions of the Municipal Institute of Parks and Gardens have focused for years on sustainability criteria, especially with regard to the planting of native Mediterranean species, more adaptable to the terrain and less hydraulic consumption; irrigation carried out with groundwater or automated irrigation (208 hectares in 2001), where the use of irrigation controlled by hygrometers is being introduced; and the use of organic waste composting for fertilization.Pruning work.Plant species are cared for according to their typology: in trees and palms, work is focused on pruning, whether it is formation, cleaning or raising the crown, or cleaning dry leaves in the case of palms, in addition to phytosanitary treatments in all these specimens; grass is the one that requires more continuous treatment, mainly mowing, as well as trimming the edges to maintain its structure, and more sporadically the aeration, priming and fertilizing of flowerbeds; as for ground cover and perennials, the former are pruned in winter, early spring and late summer, while the latter require pruning and trimming, as well as a replacement by division of bushes every two or three years; hedges need formation pruning, and maintenance with trimming in early winter and autumn; shrubs are pruned twice a year, in early summer and winter; flowers require constant care, the planting soil is usually prepared first —during the months of April, August and November—, the soil is weeded every month to aerate it and, three times a year, dried flowers are removed; In addition, general maintenance work is carried out throughout the year, such as weeding, repairing the paths and repairing or replacing street furniture, as well as general cleaning and emptying of litter garbage cans.Another area of vital importance is phytosanitary treatments, planned according to biodiversity and integrated pest management criteria.", "They are divided into six modalities: cultural, through the selection of species; mechanical, through controlled pruning; biological control, with the use of certain organisms that work against parasites, through the artificial introduction of useful fauna or antagonistic microorganisms; pheromone traps, which work against a sector of the attacking species; chromatic bands, which, like flowers, attract insects; and chemical methods, which can be by plant endotherapy, consisting of the pressurized injection of the phytosanitary product into the plant, or by atomization and phytosanitary applications on the plant.The Institute of Parks and Gardens also manages a network of urban vegetable gardens in collaboration with groups of retired people, who are responsible for their maintenance and harvesting.", "These are plots of between 25 and 40 m2, in which vegetables and greens are grown, as well as aromatic and medicinal plants, and some seasonal flowers.", "There are currently 13 urban gardens scattered throughout the city.Distribution of green areas and public services by

the Middle Ages, a period in which the garden was mainly found in monastic enclosures, where a garden and a water well were usually located in the cloister, as well as in castles and palaces, where the secular (or \"courtly\") garden emerged, of small proportions, generally structured from the orchard, around a fountain or pond, with stone benches to sit on.", "In some gardens of royal palaces the custom arose of housing animals such as ducks, swans or peacocks, sometimes becoming small zoos that could house more exotic animals, such as lions and leopards, as in the garden of the Queen of the Lesser Royal Palace of Barcelona.", "From the Gothic period a garden courtyard of the Grand Royal Palace of Barcelona (now the Frederic Marès Museum) is preserved, as well as the Orange Tree Courtyard of the Palace of the Generalitat de Catalunya.", "The cloister of the Cathedral of Barcelona retains its double bowl fountain in the center, with a Gothic pavilion at one angle, and a garden enclosed by iron railings, with palms, magnolias and other ancient trees, and a pond called ''Fuente de las Ocas'' (Fountain of the Gooseberries).", "''Paseo Nuevo'' or ''Paseo de la Explanada'', in front of the Citadel, created in 1797 and disappeared before 1888.In the foreground, the fountain of the Nereida, in the background the fountain of Hercules.However, the first surviving gardens in the city date back to the 18th century.", "In terms of urban planning, this period saw the opening of promenades in many Spanish cities, inspired by the French ''boulevard'' typology, as in the case of La Rambla in Barcelona.", "But the most outstanding achievement of this period is the Labyrinth Park of Horta, a neoclassical garden created on the initiative of Joan Antoni Desvalls, sixth Marquis of Llupià, and built by the Italian architect Domenico Bagutti and the French gardener Joseph Delvalet between 1794 and 1808.At the end of the 18th century, the ''Paseo Nuevo'' or ''Paseo de la Explanada'' was opened next to the military Citadel, a wide avenue lined with poplars and elms and decorated with ornamental fountains —of which the fountain of Hercules is still preserved—.", "For a time it was the main green space of the city, but it disappeared during the works to prepare the park of the Citadel for the Universal Exposition of 1888.Garden of the General.The first public parks appeared in the 19th century, due to the phenomenon of the Industrial Revolution, which led to an increase in urban environments, sometimes in conditions of environmental degradation due to poor hygienic conditions and increased pollution by the increasingly abundant industrialization.", "To alleviate these effects, the creation of large urban gardens and parks was promoted, which were paid for by the public authorities, thus giving rise to a \"public gardening\" that was gradually differentiated from the private ''comitencia'' that until then had monopolized the large gardening projects; this led to the introduction of the concept of landscape architecture, as well as the development of urban planning.The first public garden in Barcelona was created in 1816: the Garden of the General, an initiative of the Captain General of Catalonia, Francisco Javier Castaños.", "It was located between the present-day Avinguda Marquès de l'Argentera and the Citadel, in front of where the Estació de França is today, and covered an area of 0.4 hectares.", "Unfortunately, this space disappeared in 1877.During the 19th century, the opening of promenades and avenues continued, such as the ''Passeig de Gràcia'', whose works began in 1821 with the planting of acacias, plane trees, poplars, mulberry trees, oleanders and holm oaks.", "In this promenade were located several gardens, such as the Tívoli gardens, between Valencia and Consejo de Ciento streets, which had a nursery of flowers and aromatic plants; the ''jardí dels Camps Elisis'', between Aragon and Roussillon streets, which had a garden, a lake with boats, a theater and an amusement park with roller coasters; other gardens were the ''Criadero'', ''Ninfa'', ''Euterpe'' and ''Prado Catalán''.", "These gardens disappeared a few years later when ''Passeig de Gràcia'' was urbanized.Garden and amusement park of the ''jardí dels Camps Elisis'', Passeig de Gràcia, installed in 1853 and disappeared before 1877.At that time there were also several projects for the reform and ''ensanche'' of cities, which among other factors multiplied the space of green areas for the use and enjoyment of the population, such as the expansion of Barcelona, with a design by Ildefonso Cerdá (1860), which included a green area inside each block of houses, although in most cases it was never built, mainly due to real estate speculation.", "In 1872, after the demolition of the walls of the fortress of the Citadel, the Barcelona City Council organized a competition to build the first large public park in the city, the ''Parc de la Ciutadella''.", "The project was commissioned to Josep Fontserè, who designed extensive gardens for the recreation of the citizens, under the slogan \"gardens are to cities what lungs are to the human body\".", "Ramón Oliva, director of Barcelona's public gardens since 1874, was in charge of the gardening work.", "This park would be the main nucleus of the subsequent Universal Exposition of 1888.Between the 19th and 20th centuries modernism emerged, a movement that gave special relevance to design and architecture as a global work, both exterior and interior, with an anti-classical language inherited from romanticism, a strong link between architecture and the applied arts, and a markedly ornamental style.", "Its main exponent was Antoni Gaudí, who in addition to being an architect was also an urban planner and landscape designer, with a personal style based on the observation of nature.", "Gaudí had a great knowledge of botany and geomorphology, and although he was a great advocate of the use of Mediterranean vegetation, especially the type of sclerophyllous forest typical of the Mediterranean area, such as pines and oaks, he also used allochthonous species such as palms, mimosas and eucalyptus.", "Many of his projects included gardens, such as the Casa Vicens or the Güell Pavilions, but Gaudí's main garden project was the Parc Güell (1900-1914), commissioned by his patron, Count Eusebi Güell, to build a residential development in the style of the English garden cities, located on the so-called Montaña Pelada, in La Salut district of Barcelona.", "In 1984 Unesco included Parc Güell in the World Heritage Site \"Works of Antoni Gaudí\".Waterfall of the Parc de la Ciutadella.With the arrival of the 20th century, the Barcelona City Council organized a competition for a plan of connections between the Eixample and the municipalities recently added to the city, won in 1905 by Léon Jaussely, who designed a plan that foresaw large road infrastructures (promenades, diagonals, promenades), parks, rail links and service areas.", "Although it was only partially realized, it inspired Barcelona's urban planning for much of the century.", "In the first decades of the 20th century, thanks to the impulse of a new exhibition, the 1929 International Exposition, the Montjuïc mountain was developed with a project by the French landscape architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier, author of the Maria Luisa park in Seville, where he brought into fashion the so-called \"neo-Sevillian style\", characterized by the use of brick and tile, and where water and the use of elements such as pergolas and trellises, as well as stairs and terraces to dynamize the grounds, are essential.", "Forestier was a proponent of the garden as a work of art, and among his premises was the maximum use of local resources, so in his works in Spain he worked essentially with Mediterranean vegetation, although he also introduced some species from South America, where he had worked, such as the tipuana, the jacaranda and the ombú.", "In Montjuïc he had the collaboration of Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí, architect and landscape designer, with whom he created a complex with a markedly Mediterranean character and classicist taste, centered on the Laribal (1917-1924) and Miramar (1919-1923) gardens.", "The team formed by Forestier and Rubió left several other works in the city, such as the landscaping of the ''Plaza de Armas'' in the ''Parc de la Ciutadella'' (1915) and the ''Parc del Guinardó'' (1918).", "On the other hand, the Botanical Garden of Barcelona was established in 1930, located at the bottom of a quarry behind the National Palace of Montjuïc, with a magnificent collection of exotic plants compiled by the botanist Pius Font i Quer.Parc Güell, work of Antoni Gaudí.Rubió i Tudurí was the leading representative of Noucentisme, a movement for the renovation of culture that sought to bring it closer to the innovations produced in the new 20th century, and which, contrary to the Nordic values defended by modernism, advocated a return to the Mediterranean world, to classical Greco-Latin culture.", "Director of Parks and Gardens of Barcelona between 1917 and 1937, he was the main promoter of the \"Mediterranean garden\", which is denoted in his works such as the gardens of the Francesc Macià square (1925), the Font del Racó park (1926), the gardens of the Royal Palace of Pedralbes (1927), those of Turó Park (1933) and those of the Gaudí square, in front of the ''Sagrada Familia'' (1981).", "Rubió i Tudurí founded in 1933 the Municipal School of Apprentice Gardeners, currently the Rubió i Tudurí Municipal Secondary School.", "In 1926 he proposed with the text ''El problema de los espacios libres'' —presented at the XI National Congress of Architects— the placement of a series of green spaces in the form of concentric semicircles between the Besós and Llobregat rivers, all along the Siera de Collserola, with small enclaves in the inner part of the city in the style of the London squares; unfortunately, the project was not executed, except in small portions.", "''Parc de Cervantes''.The Civil War brought the city's landscaping projects to a halt, and in the post-war period the actions focused more on the maintenance and restoration of existing areas than on the creation of new green zones.", "In 1940, Lluís Riudor i Carol, the initiator of landscaping in Catalonia, was put in charge of Parks and Gardens.", "His works included the Austria Garden —located in the Parc Güell area—, the Monterols Park, the Cervantes Park, and several interventions in the Montjuïc mountain aimed at suppressing the shantytowns produced by immigration in the post-war period, This project was continued by his successor, Joaquim Casamor, with the creation of several thematic gardens, such as the Mossèn Costa i Llobera gardens, specialized in cacti and succulents, and the Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer gardens, dedicated to aquatic, bulbous and rhizomatous plants.", "His work also included the Mirador del Alcalde gardens on Montjuïc and the Joan Maragall gardens, located around the Albeniz Palace, residence of the Spanish royal family during their visits to Barcelona, in neoclassical style; and, in the rest of Barcelona, the Putget, Guineueta and Villa Amelia parks.", "During this period, the Barcelona City Council also purchased several private properties that were incorporated into the public parks, such as the Horta Labyrinth Park (1971), the Castell de l'Oreneta Park (1978) and the Aigües Park (1978).Creueta del Coll park, in the background the sculpture ''Elogio del agua'' (1987), by Eduardo Chillida.The arrival of democracy favored the creation of new green areas in the city.", "At this time, gardening was closely linked to urban planning, with a concept that combined aesthetics with functionality, as well as recreational aspects, sports facilities, services for certain groups such as children —children's playgrounds— or the elderly —pétanque courts as the most recurrent element—, or even the commercial vision —food and beverage establishments—.", "In this sense, green areas were usually subordinated to the architectural layout of the complex, losing to a large extent the naturalness of the vegetation, which on many occasions had a certain artificial appearance.", "In relation to this, perennial and static species such as conifers gained preponderance and were used on a massive scale in the new urban parks.", "At that time numerous parks were converted from former municipal facilities, such as the Joan Miró park, built in 1983 on the site of the former central slaughterhouse of Barcelona, or in industrial areas (España Industrial park, 1985; Pegaso park, 1986; Clot park, 1986) or from former railway facilities (Sant Martí park, 1985; Estación del Norte park, 1988).", "As in the previous period, several private properties were acquired, such as the gardens of Villa Cecilia (1986) and the gardens of Ca n'Altimira (1991).Hotel of bees and wasps, Cervantes Park.In the 1990s, the predisposition to a greater contact with nature returned, and there was a growing awareness of the damage done to the environment.", "Since then, the defense of nature and ecological values has been increasing in society, which has resulted in greater efforts to conserve the natural heritage and in the design of new gardens with greater relevance of vegetation and its location in the environment.", "Barcelona has been a clear example in this sense, since, especially thanks to the impulse of the 1992 Olympic Games, it initiated a process of restoration and conservation of its parks and gardens, while at the same time new ones were created with a more naturalistic design, such as the Creueta del Coll park, in addition to the actions on the seafront and in the new neighborhood of the Olympic Village.", "On Montjuïc, the epicenter of the Games, a new 14-hectare Botanical Garden was installed, dedicated to Mediterranean plants from all over the world, the work of Carlos Ferrater and Bet Figueras, and the Sculpture Garden was established next to the Miró Foundation, with works by sculptors such as Tom Carr, Pep Durán, Perejaume, Enric Pladevall, Jaume Plensa, Josep Maria Riera i Aragó, Erna Verlinden and Sergi Aguilar.", "In 2003 the Joan Brossa gardens were inaugurated, located on the land formerly occupied by the Montjuïc Amusement Park, with a remodeling carried out by Patrizia Falcone in landscape style.", "Other playgrounds were the Mirador del Migdia, Poblenou, Carlos I and Valle de Hebron parks.In the 21st century there was a new boost to gardening with the celebration of the Universal Forum of Cultures 2004 in the Diagonal Mar area, which left a new green area of 214 hectares, with gardens such as the Garcia Fària Linear Park, the Forum Park and the Diagonal Mar Park.", "In the second decade of the century, the construction of two large parks is planned, which will significantly increase the green space of the city: the Glories Park and the Sagrera Park.During Ada Colau's mayoralty, a program of naturalization and ecological management of the city's green spaces was promoted, with the aim of increasing the green surface area and promoting biodiversity.", "Among other actions, vegetation was increased, native species were protected, trees were pruned less frequently and plants were allowed to grow in the tree wells.", "The goal was to increase green spaces by 160 hectares by 2030, with a target of 1 m2 per person.", "In addition to increasing green spaces, 80 insect facilities and more than 260 bird nests were installed.", "The use of chemical herbicides was also eliminated and phytosanitary treatments were reduced." ], [ "List of parks and gardens" ], [ "See also", "* List of parks and gardens of Barcelona* Gardening in Spain* Catalan art*Fountains of
