Cite Cities Community Jardin Planning Strasbourg 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
Ungemach Cité Jardin: A Harmonious Blend of Community and Nature in Strasbourg, France (1929) This evocative photograph captures the essence of Ungemach Cité Jardin, a unique urban planning project in Strasbourg, France, dating back to 1929. The image, titled "La place du Bocage," showcases the heart of this innovative community, where the built environment harmoniously merges with lush greenery. The Cité Jardin, or Garden City, movement emerged in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions in urban areas. Ungemach Cité Jardin, designed by architects Eugène Beauharnais and Georges Specklin, is a prime example of this forward-thinking approach. In the photograph, we see a vibrant community square, "place du Bocage," surrounded by low-rise buildings with green roofs and gardens. Residents are engaged in various activities, from playing games to socializing, while children frolic in the open space. The verdant gardens and trees provide a refreshing contrast to the brick and mortar structures, creating an inviting and idyllic atmosphere. The careful planning and integration of green spaces within the community were essential components of the Cité Jardin concept. This approach not only improved the overall living conditions for residents but also fostered a strong sense of community and social cohesion. Ungemach Cité Jardin stands as a testament to the enduring appeal and relevance of this pioneering urban planning philosophy. This photograph, taken in 1929, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and vision of Ungemach Cité Jardin. It serves as a reminder of the power of thoughtful urban design and the importance of balancing the needs of community and nature.
