General Introduction to Radburn
Topic: General
Radburn is a portion of Fair Lawn New Jersey, about 16 miles form New York City. It was planned as a "Garden City" in 1927 by the City Housing Corporation, which was responsible for Sunnyside Gardens in Queens. The primary architects for the Radburn project were Clarence Stein and Henry Wright. Stein had seen some of the garden cities in England and wanted to design a city for the motor age. The City Housing Corporation included Felix Adler (founder of Ethical Culture movement) and Eleanor Roosevelt on the board. Major elements to Radburn's design were (1) superblocks (2) separation of road functions (3) central greens.
