THE ROLES OF THE SCHEME OF MANAGEMENT OF THE HAMPSTEAD GARDEN SUBURB IN MAINTAINING THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT(Urban Planning)

Abstract

Although many studies have been done on the Hampstead Garden Suburb, not so many deal with how its good living environment has been preserved until today. This study clarifies that the scheme of management based on the leasehold reform act 1967 plays an important role for the preservation by enabling the trust to control strictly and flexibly its living environment and by offering a stable platform for the control. To preserve a good living environment, it is necessary to manage the developed residential area as a whole. The roles and importance of the scheme should be recognized more in Japan.
