‘Inner Gardens’ of Tel Aviv: The Implementation of Urban Utopia by Patrick Geddes

Research reveals that Patrick Geddes' vision for Tel Aviv, conceived as a Garden City in 1909, included approximately twenty 'Geddes Gardens'—residential structures with inner gardens—that align with his urban planning ideas. These features, characterized by their shape, urban connectivity, pedestrian lanes, and landscape design, were identified through archival research, map analysis, and on-site exploration. The study highlights the implementation of Geddes' urban utopia in Tel Aviv, contributing to the understanding of its historical significance within the context of Garden City and Modern Movement ideals.
