Description

This paper clarifies the present conditions of Pinelands(Cape Town, South Africa), which was initiated by Richard Stuttaford and designed by A. J. Thompson, following the Ebenezer Howard's idea of Garden City, and discusses the significance of the planning idea and method concerning the evaluation of Garden City Movement. A. J. Thompson is known as an architect who had worked in the office of B. Parker and R. Unwin. The major objective of this article is to review the idea and method of the planning of Pinelands for the contemporary development of Japanese town planning. Firstly, we, summarizing R. Stuttaford's idea of Pinelands and A. J. Thompson's site planning, analyze the process of its development. Then, we will reveal the present layout of Pinelands based on the field survey. Comparing the original layout with the present one, we can evaluate the validity and possibility of the planning idea and method of Garden City idea. It is surprising that "Garden Cities" continue to act until now. Pinelands is one of few successful garden cities built on the E. Howard's idea, but it was implemented under the very special system called apartheid.
