Legacy

[edit]

I've added a tag - this section needs citations for:

  • the claimed influence of the garden city movement on 'New Urbanism' and 'Intelligent Urbanism'
  • the claim that most garden cities around the world are dormitory suburbs
  • the TCPA's call for garden city principles to be applied to planned Eco-towns. Pondle (talk) 16:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split Garden Suburb from the Garden City Movement

[edit]

Given that the idea of Garden suburbs pre-dates the Garden City movement, influenced it strongly, and is defined as a separate concept, should the two sections be split into separate articles? Paradise Planned - The Garden Suburb and the Modern City is a new resource that strongly differentiates garden suburbs from the garden city movement. The garden city is an independent entity near a city with it's own industry, government, and neighbourhoods, while garden suburbs are either entirely residential or residential with some civic buildings and shops, but rarely industry and always dependent on a nearby metropolitan area. There are many examples of garden suburbs built in the 19th century, well before the Garden City movement was a movement. While the design of garden suburbs would be strongly influenced the Garden City movement they still remain separate.

There is a lot of confusion between the two terms so it would help reduce the confusion if we create a separate article.

There are number of new sources and discussions around the garden suburb, as being distinct from the garden city. It would be useful to develop the articles based on these sources, including, but not exclusively:

Overall I think it would be of tremendous benefit to separate the articles and improve the knowledge and awareness of garden suburbs as a 19th century form of city and neighbourhood building. The new article could be organized geographically i.e. Garden Suburbs in North America, Garden Suburbs in England, Garden Suburbs in Europe etc... and better indicated how different movements and architectural ideas influenced the design of garden suburbs.

This idea has been unopposed for 13 months, I believe it should now be implemented. The focus of the article is on a design movement (an idea)- garden suburbs are implementations (bricks and mortar) of many design movements. All they share is the word 'garden'.

Loss of productive farmland

[edit]

Given the pressures on land use in many countries, we need to discuss the effect of encroachment on productive farmland of existing and proposed garden cities . Can this be offset by growing crops within the boundaries of garden cities?

Split discussion

[edit]

I suggest the "list of garden cities" section is split into a a separate page. The content makes the page long and difficult to read.AttemptedEdit (talk) 04:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Omiya Bonsai Village

[edit]

I think Omiya Bonsai Village is Gardener town, not Garden city. RJANKA (talk) 18:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox: In Japan case (used google translate.)

[edit]

sources:[1], [2], ja:田園都市

Many of Japan's garden cities were built by railway companies and are often essentially commuter towns.　The word "Den-en-toshi (田園都市)", the Japanese translation of "Garden City", first appeared in 'Den-en-toshi (田園都市)'[3], published in 1907 by 'Garden Cities of To-morrow' and A.R Sennett who is civil engineer sympathizers within the Home Ministry. 田園 means paddy field, but in reality, in many cases, Den-en-toshi is built by destroying fields and paddy fields. Probably unrelated to '田園都市', Hanshin Electric Railway published 'Recommendation for Living Outside the City (市外居住のすゝめ, Shigai kyojuu no susume)' in January 1908 to promote the rental housing in Nishinomiya that it had begun selling in 1909.

In the Kansai region, the development of Muromachi (室町)(ja) near Ikeda Station by the Minoh-Arima Electric Tramway (箕面有馬電気軌道, Minō-Arima Denkikidou) (Currently: Hankyu Railway), run by Ichizo Kobayashi, in 1910 and Sakurai Station (Minoh City) in 1911 were the first developments (although they did not directly advocate the creation of a "garden city"). Later, in the 1920s, Koshien(ja:甲子園 (地名)) and Fujiidera(arround Fujiidera Station) were developed based on the "Flower Garden City (花苑都市, Kaen-Toshi)" concept of Ohya Reijo(ja:大屋霊城), who was sympathized by Howard. In 1920, the Osaka Housing Management Company (大阪住宅経営株式会社, Osaka Juutaku keiei Kabusikikaisha) developed Senriyama(ja:千里山) Housing Area (Suita City), which was modeled on the English garden city of Letchworth, and in the 1930s, the Kansai Land Company(ja:関西土地) developed Omino Garden City (大美野田園都市) (arround Kitanoda Station, Sakai City) and Hatsushiba (Sakai City), which featured fountains and roundabouts.

In Tokyo, Eiichi Shibusawa and others established the Den-en-toshi Company(ja:田園都市 (企業)) in 1918, and developed and sold Senzoku Garden City(ja:洗足田園都市, arround Senzoku Station) in 1922 as an ideal residential area called "Den-en-toshi." They also established a railway subsidiary (later Tokyu) to ensure the area's accessibility. The area was touted as combining "Civilized convenience and rural scenery," "Nature and civilization," and "The advantages of the countryside and the city," but the location was always defined as "A residential area attached to a large city" and "Having transportation that can reach the city center within an hour." Garden City did not necessarily include workplaces, which was different from Howard's ideas. The development methods were later applied to Tokyu's development of Tama Garden City(ja:多摩田園都市).
