Like a number of other South American countries, Argentina’s early to mid-twentieth century urban development was influenced by the garden city movement – and made a unique contribution to it. Argentina demonstrated a preference for garden neighbourhoods as a planning standard for city expansion into the suburbs, with family homes meeting a Peronist ideal that they should be adequate, hygienic, comfortable, and economic, besides social, and privately owned’ very much to the fore. The main examples of Ciudad Jardins – garden cities and suburbs – were found in Buenos Aires, and the most famous of these is the Ciudad Jardin Lomas del Palomar. The garden city of Lomas del Palomar is the best known of Argentina’s garden cities and suburbs. Located some 20 kilometres from downtown Buenos Aires and was developed in 1944 by a German émigré Dr Erich Zeyen. https://www.gardencitiesinstitute.com/about-us/our- prospectus.
