An article in the Dutch glossy magazine MONUMENTAAL pays attention to garden villages and garden cities in the Netherlands, and the upcoming exhibition on them at Museum Het Schip.
Author Alice Roegholt, director emeritus of Museum Het Schip, describes how the Netherlands has hundreds of garden cities and garden villages. Built as a reaction to the heavily polluted cities at the end of the 19th century, they offered workers a new perspective on a beautiful living environment in green surroundings: the garden city idea.
The article (in Dutch) can be read here. It is from MONUMENTAAL, multifaceted magazine about cultural heritage in the Netherlands and Flanders.
