22 dez 1931 ano - Broadacre City Concept

Descrição:

Frank Lloyd Wright’s presented the idea of Broadacre City Concept in his book The Disappearing City in 1932. A few years later he unveiled a very detailed twelve by twelve foot (3.7 × 3.7 m) scale model representing a hypothetical four square mile (10 km²) community

Broadacre City was the antithesis of a city and the apotheosis of the newly born suburbia, shaped through Wright's particular vision.[2] It was both a planning statement and a socio-political scheme by which each U.S. family would be given a one acre (4,046.86 m²) plot of land from the federal lands reserves, and a Wright-conceived community would be built anew from this. In a sense it was the exact opposite of transit-oriented development. There is a train station and a few office and apartment buildings in Broadacre City, but the apartment dwellers are expected to be a small minority. All important transport is done by automobile and the pedestrian can exist safely only within the confines of the one acre (4,046.86 m²) plots where most of the population dwells.
