抄録

This paper clarifies the present conditions of Colonel Light Gardens(Mitcham Garden Suburb, Adelaide, Australia), which was designed by Charles Compton Reade following the Ebenezer Howard's idea of Garden City, and discusses the significance of the planning idea and method concerning the evaluation of international Garden City Movement. Adelaide is known as the only existing city Ebenezer Howard cited in his book "Garden City of Tomorrow", and C.C. Reade is well known as one of the missionary and oreanizer of the movement. The major objective of this article is to review the idea and method of the planning of Colonel Light Gardens for the future development of Japanese town planning. Firstly, we summarize the C.C. Reade's idea of Colonel Light Gardens and analyze the process of its development. Then, we will reveal the present layout of Colonel Light Gardens 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 planning. We would like to appreciate the commissioner system on decision making process though the original layout of community facilities was not necessarily implemented. The original plan had to be changed by Thousand Homes Scheme', but the internal reservations and utility ways are thought to be useful for the flexible planning.
