e/American Radburn design for public housing

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The American Radburn design for public housing is a reference the civil engineering designs for public housing estates applied in the 1970s in Sydney, Australia and other places. It is typified by the backyards of homes facing the street and the fronts of homes facing each other over common yards. It is often referred to as an urban design experiment which is typified by failure due to the laneways used as common entries and exits to the houses helping ghettoise communities and encourage crime; it has ultimately lead to efforts to de-Radburn or partially demolish American Radburn designed public housing areas. It is an offshoot of American designs from English garden city theories which culminated in the design of the partially built Radburn, New Jersey estate.
