The City Beautiful Movement was a concept and idea in the late 1800s where architects, designers, and city planners got together to make cities more pleasant looking and enjoyable. They wanted to make cities more beautiful, by creating parks, gardens, and open spaces, as well as making buildings look nicer and more grand. Buildings were made to be interesting and eye-catching, and so were parks and roads. Everything was made to create a sense of grandeur, harmony, and peace in the city. The goal was to make cities more beautiful and comfortable for everyone to enjoy. Doing this would also help to create a sense of pride in the city and help show off what a great place it is to live in.
