Andrew Haswell Green (October 6, 1820 – November 13, 1903) was an American lawyer, city planner, and civic leader who was influential in the development of New York City. Green was responsible for Central Park, the New York Public Library, the Bronx Zoo, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also participated in or led significant projects, such as Riverside Drive, Morningside Park, Fort Washington Park, and protecting the Hudson River Palisades from destruction. Green is considered "the Father of Greater New York" for his last project to consolidate the city with neighboring towns, chairing the 1897 committee that drew up the plan of amalgamation.

Morningside Park (New York City) in the context of Morningside Drive (Manhattan)
Morningside Drive is a roughly north–south bi-directional street in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs from 110th Street in the south, where it forms the continuation of Columbus Avenue, to 122nd Street-Seminary Row in the north, which Morningside Drive becomes after turning to the west and crossing over Amsterdam Avenue.
Along the way, Morningside Drive passes the apse of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; the Plant and Scrymser Pavilions of St. Luke's Hospital; the Eglise de Notre Dame; and several buildings owned by Columbia University, including the President's House and the East Campus dormitory. The eastern side of Morningside Drive is occupied by Morningside Park, which forms the eastern boundary of Morningside Heights, and contains a cliff that makes the construction of cross-streets impossible. The non-institutional buildings on the west side of the street are primarily apartment houses.
