Abstract

Nicholas Dagen Bloom New Towns are not suburbs Obstacles to planning US garden cities During the twentieth century, the garden city model imported from Europe a century before spread across the United States without every satisfactorily achieving its goals of harmonious social and spatial coexistence. The New Town model took over after World War Two to restructure monotonous suburbs forming the urban sprawl. What was achieved never lived up to the hopes of urban developers continually confronted with a general demand for a separation between skyscraper and garden, rich and poor, White and Black.
