Answer

The L'Enfant Plan was designed in 1791 by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French-born architect and engineer. It was the first comprehensive plan for the city of Washington, D.C., and it laid out the basic design of the city that we know today. The plan was based on a grid system, with broad avenues radiating from the Capitol building. It also included parks, squares, and other public spaces.
