aug 3, 1924 - Sunnyside Gardens, Queens (CHC)

Description:

Funded by Alexander Bing (developer)
Designed by Stein and Wright (architects)
Fit within existing grids but gave a common green space surrounded by residents
Because the green space was bounded by public streets and owned by surrounding residents, this blurred the boundary of public/private owned land.
Introduced the idea of the super block.
This was test case for Radburn
