DESCRIPTION:This paper proposes a lens of analysis for studying the history
  of public urban parks as spaces that fostered specific codes of conduct. 
 The two case studies of post-war public urban park development in Richmond
 \, Virginia (United States) and Hamburg (Germany) exemplify restoration id
 eas and ideals implemented by urban planners\, politicians\, and residents
 . This paper focuses on two historical contexts\, which launched radical s
 tructural changes throughout the built environment in each case study. In 
 Richmond\, Chimborazo Park displaced and excluded an African American (Bla
 ck) community during the aftermath of the Civil War\, while Hamburg's Alst
 erpark was created within the city’s general post-World War II greening 
 initiatives that included forced expropriation and regulation of social be
 havior. The joint GIS-based approach furthers the analysis of these spatia
 l histories by understanding patterns of displacement\, exclusion\, and so
 cial control. The paper thus demonstrates how park creation\, often presen
 ted as innately beneficial for the public by planners\, government officia
 ls\, 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 a
 n approach for critically examining historically salient socio-political i
 mplications of\, and power relations within\, urban green space developmen
 t. It informs conversations at the intersections of spatial methods and ur
 ban heritage. The GIS models created by both authors illustrate the histor
 ies of modern park constructions\, largely unknown today by community memb
 ers in both Richmond and Hamburg. As both cases focus on public parks that
  exist today\, the authors can educate a broad public audience who are eit
 her unaware of the histories of the parks they regularly inhabit or assume
  them as neutral spaces.
