Answer
Pierre Charles L'Enfant designed the basic plan for Washington, D.C. in 1791. The city was planned as a grand capital for the new United States, and L'Enfant's plan featured a wide, tree-lined mall running through the center of the city, with radiating streets and squares on either side. The plan was never fully realized, but it remains the basic framework for the city's layout today.
