Abstract
From the late 19th century to the early 20th century in the US, a number of garden suburbs were developed along streetcar lines and highways. This suburban expansion provided developers and designers with opportunities for experimentation. Real estate developers in California demonstrated innovative examples in the development of garden suburbs. This paper focuses on St. Francis Wood in San Francisco and Palos Verdes Estates in Los Angeles County and analyzes how the developers, landscape architects, city planners and other professionals formulated the designs and protective restrictions for these suburbs. In addition, it examines the influence of the ‘City Beautiful’ movement and shows the innovations these two garden suburbs made in the history of American garden suburbs.
