„O p e n planning is more salubrious than closed dongested.“
„from an economic standpoint there is ´Nothing Gained by Overcrowding´.“ – R. Unwin cooplanner of 1.Garden City
>> money wasted in duplicating unnecessary streets > garden robbing
GREENBELT
„Increase of population and wealth in our big centres had paradoxically resulted in DESTITUTION..“ > no city´s income was used for sanitation, maintainance and slum clearence
It „is not a suburb, but the antithesis of a suburb: not a more rural retreat, but a more integrated foundation for an effective urban life.“
Garden city is a „compact, rigorously confined urban grouping“ >> urban and rural patterns should g r o w together (indrustrial population + working base + residents + public space..)
