DESCRIPTION:This paper proposes a lens of analysis for studying the histor
 y of public urban parks as spaces that fostered specific codes of conduct.
  The two case studies of post-war public urban park development in Richmon
 d\, Virginia (United States) and Hamburg (Germany) exemplify restoration i
 deas and ideals implemented by urban planners\, politicians\, and resident
 s. This paper focuses on two historical contexts\, which launched radical 
 structural changes throughout the built environment in each case study. In
  Richmond\, Chimborazo Park displaced and excluded an African American (Bl
 ack) community during the aftermath of the Civil War\, while Hamburg's Als
 terpark was created within the city’s general post-World War II greening
  initiatives that included forced expropriation and regulation of social b
 ehavior. The joint GIS-based approach furthers the analysis of these spati
 al histories by understanding patterns of displacement\, exclusion\, and s
 ocial control. The paper thus demonstrates how park creation\, often prese
 nted as innately beneficial for the public by planners\, government offici
 als\, and stakeholders\, served to enforce prevailing social and political
  norms by excluding unwanted visitors and regulating “proper” behavior
  in parks. By layering historical data in GIS software\, the paper offers 
 an approach for critically examining historically salient socio-political 
 implications of\, and power relations within\, urban green space developme
 nt. It informs conversations at the intersections of spatial methods and u
 rban heritage. The GIS models created by both authors illustrate the histo
 ries of modern park constructions\, largely unknown today by community mem
 bers in both Richmond and Hamburg. As both cases focus on public parks tha
 t exist today\, the authors can educate a broad public audience who are ei
 ther unaware of the histories of the parks they regularly inhabit or assum
 e them as neutral spaces.
