摘要

加拿大在二战后成为一个郊区国家，但其郊区的设计是如何从网格演变为曲线街道的邻里单位却鲜为人知。在战后时期，联邦政府通过中央抵押和住房公司推动社区规划和新的设计标准，塑造了郊区社区。档案记录显示，加拿大政府影响了战时住房、退伍军人住房和军事社区的郊区设计，开发了数百个社区和几个新城镇。CMHC还与其他联邦和省级机构合作，鼓励私营建筑商采用政府首选的设计原则。关键词:郊区加拿大邻里单位披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究由加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会[435-2018-0378]资助。

The disappearing grid: how the Canadian government changed suburban community design, 1944-69

ABSTRACTCanada became a suburban nation after WWII, but how the design of its suburbs evolved from grids to neighbourhood units of curvilinear streets is little known. During the post-war period, the federal government shaped suburban neighbourhoods by promoting community planning and new design standards, acting through the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The archival record demonstrates that the Canadian government influenced suburban design in wartime housing, veterans’ housing and military communities, developing hundreds of neighbourhoods and several new towns. CMHC also partnered with other federal and provincial agencies and encouraged private builders to adopt the government’s preferred design principles.KEYWORDS: SuburbsCanadaneighbourhood unitgrids Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada [435-2018-0378].

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Design is a scholarly international journal which advances theory, research and practice in urban design. There is a growing recognition of the need for urban design in shaping, managing and improving the quality of the urban environment. It is now considered one of the core knowledge components of planning and architectural education and practice. Thus, increasing numbers of architects, planners, surveyors, landscape architects and other professions concerned with the quality of urban development are specialising in urban design. The Journal of Urban Design provides a new forum to bring together those contributing to this re-emerging discipline and enables researchers, scholars, practitioners and students to explore its many dimensions. The Journal publishes original articles in specialised areas such as urban aesthetics and townscape; urban structure and form; sustainable development; urban history, preservation and conservation; urban regeneration; local and regional identity; design control and guidance; property development; practice and implementation.
