THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO ANALYSE THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF THE PLANNING THOUGHT ON THE GREEN BELT IN LONDON FROM 1900-1938. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY, THE THOUGHT OF THE GREEN GIRDLE WAS DEVELOPED INFLUENCED BY THE AMERICAN PARK SYSTEM. IN 1920'S, THE REGIONAL PLANNING WAS DEVELOPED AS THE METHOD TO SOLVE THE ENLARGEMENT PROBLEM OF BIG CITIES. THE GREEN GIRDLE PROPOSED BY RAYMOND ANWIN REFRECTED THIS REGIONAL PLANNING THEORY, AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GREEN GIRDLE CHANGED TO SECURE A BREAK IN THE OUTWARD SPORADIC SPREADING OF LONDON.
