New YORK; author of Modern City
Planning and Maintenance
The garden city in its best form Is a
well organized development, in which
from 100 TO 500 homes make up unit,
which is intended to grow little If any
larger. When additional demand
springs up for quarters a new garden
city is formed elsewhere, and TINS the
identity of the existing one is preserv-
ed indefinitely, and the residents, in the
expectation of spending their lives in
their own homes, have every incentive
to embellish them and keep their
grounds In the best possible condition.
The garden city in plan should be
laid out in the simplest, yet most at
tractiye manner. There being no traf-
fic Of any consequence the streets
should be planned with the degree of
irregularity which insures charm.
Some of the streets should be winding,
while the straight ones should have
suitable terminals. Each house should
be provided with a spacious garden.
