| Research Abstract |
The Research aims at clarifying the adaptation, realization, and development of the Garden City concept in developing (previously Western colonized) areas. Another goal is to analyze historical evaluation, recent problems, and future consideration of the Garden Cities.
Reconsidering E. Howard's works, the Garden Cities in the developed countries - (including Japan) were comparatively studied. The main focus is on development in England (Letchworth, Welwin), France, Germany (Nazis), Australia, United States, and Canada. The bibliography covering the Garden Cities was also comprehended.
Then, the Asian and African patterns on adaptation and realization of the Garden City concept were studied. The focus is the engineers or planners and their works, which demonstrate the development of Garden City planning. For example, A. Thompson and Pinelands (Cape Town), H. Baker and Pretoria P. Geddes and India, M.Pont, T.Carlsten and Indonesian cities, W. MacLeann and Khartoum(Sudan), Alexandria (Egypt), Jerusalem, A.E. Mirams and Bombay, Uganda, E.P. Richards and Calcutta, Singapore, R.H. Rowe and Gold Coast, Nigeria, H.V. Lanchester and Indian cities, C.C. Reade and Southern Australia, Malaya, and Burnham and Baguio, Manila.
Detailed analysis, based on field survey, was made on Pinelands, Cape Town (South Africa), Cornel Light Gardens, Adelaide (Australia), Chowringhee, Calcutta, where a number of garden houses were constructed.
