The success of the Garden City in Britain was extraordinary, as well as internationally. The Garden City Association, together with the Town Planning Conference organized in 1910, would encourage the founding in 1913 of the International Garden Cities and Town Planning Association"), which would be responsible for the propagation of the Garden City in the rest of the world (although frequently differentiated from the original model).[2].
For the United States it was a great trigger in the urbanization of new cities, such as Forest Hills Gardens "Forest Hills Gardens (Queens)") (New York), Radburn "Radburn (New Jersey)") (New Jersey 1923). The model also reached different European countries such as Germany with the “New Frankfurt” by Ernst May, developed between 1925 and 1930), Stuttgart (with the Weissenhof of 1927) or Berlin, with the siedlungen built during the Weimar Republic.
In Latin America, the Garden City of El Palomar can be highlighted, inaugurated in 1944 by the German-born businessman Erick Zeyen, or several neighborhoods built in the suburbs of São Paulo "São Paulo (city)"), Brazil, such as Butantã, Jardim América, Jardim Europa, Alto da Lapa, Goiânia, capital of the state of Goiás, and Maringá.
The spread of the Garden City led to different interpretations that would gradually lose a good part of the foundations established by Howard, Unwin and Parker. But even so, these different interpretations maintained a common denominator expressed in a medium-low density, with an important presence of green areas in peripheral areas interconnected by quick access routes.
In Spain, in 1911 a law called the cheap houses law was enacted, which was subsequently modified in 1921, attempting to solve the pressing problem of popular housing, that is, the regulation for the construction of economic neighborhoods, designed in theory as autonomous satellite cities in relation to their own collective services, with minimum hygienic guarantees and always seeking proximity to large communication arteries or large work centers.
In Huelva, the working-class neighborhood or Reina Victoria neighborhood was built by José María Pérez Carasa and Gonzalo Aguado, in 1916. In Guecho, the Neguri neighborhood was designed based on the English garden cities and in Bilbao the Bilbao Garden City "Garden City (Bilbao)") was built between 1923 and 1925. In Vitoria is the Mendizorroza district. In Cartagena "Cartagena (Spain)") the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood was built in 1929, under the aforementioned Cheap Houses law; It is a neighborhood with grid streets, typical of the 1920s, with single-family residential buildings of uniform typology. In Cantabria, the garden city of Santander "Santander (Cantabria)") and the Vergel City in Torrelavega stand out.
In the city of Málaga is the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood "Barrio de Ciudad Jardín (Málaga)"), a relatively young neighborhood, since its origin as such is established when the first third of the last century is well advanced. The initial works on the first houses that would form it began in 1925.
In Madrid, Arturo Soria's Linear City project, the El Viso neighborhood "El Viso (Madrid)") and later the La Moraleja urbanization stand out.
The Garden City (Seville) "Garden City (Seville)"), a residential neighborhood in the Nervión district, with chalets of different sizes, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition in Seville. Also Santa Clara Garden City "Santa Clara (Seville)").
The concept of Garden City and Segur de Calafell also appear linked since an urbanization project for the area known historically as Quadra de Segur was born in 1947 by the architect Manuel Baldrich, father of the original plans.
The development that later had that initial concept of Garden City, converted into an endless row of buildings facing the sea, a product of predatory speculation at the end of the 70s and with the approval of successive city councils. The aforementioned growth earned it the nickname of the greatest urbanization in Europe.
The part of Segur that is still in the mountain area as an urbanization of single-family homes, still retains characteristic features of the original idea. It is currently classified as an urbanization belonging to the municipality of Calafell, in the Bajo Panadés region.
In Ecuador, since 2006, the largest project in Latin America has been built in the capital, Quito, with more than 7,000 housing units and 17 hectares of green areas designed based on the urban concept of the future Garden City. This project is promoted by the real estate company Ferroinmobiliaria SA, next to the metropolitan park in the south of the city, which additionally consists of 600 hectares.
