The notion of planning entire communities prior to their construction is an ancient one. In fact, one of the earliest such cities on record is Miletus, Greece, which was built in the 4 th century BC. Throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, various planned communities (both theoretical and actual) were conceived. Leonardo da Vinci designed several cities that were never constructed. Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, the architect Christopher Wren created a new master plan for the city, incorporating park land and urban space. Several 18 th century cities, including Washington DC., New York City, and St. Petersburg, Russia, were built according to comprehensive planning. 1. In Paragraph A, what is the main point that the writer makes?

The urban-planning concept itself is not restricted to modern times.

Some urban designs are better in the theory than in practice.

Urban planning should be carried out by professionals.

Some planned ancient cities are more successful than modern ones.

One of the most important planned city concepts, the Garden City Movement, arose in the latter part of the 19 th century as a reaction to the pollution and crowding of the Industrial Revolution. In 1898, Ebenezer Howard published the book To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform in which he laid out his ideas concerning the creation of the new economically viable towns. Howard believed that these towns should be limited in size and density, and surrounded with a belt of undeveloped land. The idea gained enough attention and financial backing to lead to the creation of Letchworth, in Hertfordshire, England. This was the first such “Garden City”. After the First World War, the second town built following Howard’s ideas, Welwyn Garden City, was constructed. 2. According to the second paragraph, the Garden City Movement

was designed to combat problems caused by modernization.

came just before the Industrial Revolution.

was held back by a war and a lack of funds.

resulted in cities that were larger than they had been before

In the early 1920s, American architects Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, inspired by Howard’s ideas and the success of Letchworth and Welwyn, created the city of Radburn, New Jersey . Conceived as a community which would be safe for children, Radburn was intentionally designed so that the residents would not require automobiles. Several urban planning designs were pioneered at Radburn that would influence later planned communities, including the separation of pedestrians and vehicles, and the use of “superblocks”, each of which shared 23 acres of commonly held parkland. 3. What was one aim in designing the city of Radburn?

to reduce the danger for families living in the area.

to create something totally different from cities elsewhere.

to make sure people could park their cars close to their home.

to increase green spaces by designing houses with gardens

In America, following the stock market crash of 1292, there was a great demand for both affordable housing and employment for workers who had lost their jobs. In direct response to this, in 1935 President Roosevelt created the Resettlement Administration, which brought about a total of three greenbelt towns: Greenbelt, Maryland; Greenhills, Ohio; Greendale, Wisconsin. These towns contained many elements of the Garden City Movement developments, including the use of superblocks and a “green belt” of undeveloped land surrounding the community What do the towns of Greenbelt, Greenhills, and Greendale all have in common?

The towns were each surrounded by natural parkland.

The residents were affected by the stock market collapse

The towns were built for the wealthiest people in America.

They were all constructed in the same year
