Abstract
Th. Sørensen was involved in the most important Danish collective social housing programmes between the 1930s and 1950s, in which his aim was to design community gardens designed to complete the modern habitat programme with outdoor public spaces. This article traces the landscape architect's thinking on the design of public space and studies Sørensen's six most outstanding collective gardens with the aim of highlighting the design strategies employed that have consolidated them into spaces of high civic value that are still suitable nowadays. The text is structured in three approaches that depend on the spatial pattern of the buildings and its degree of dispersion. The chapters analyse the programme and the use of topography and vegetation for the definition of a defined character, with a clear spatial order and resources to reconcile the public and human scale.
