Five or six internal reserves appear in this design for Marienberg, c. 1903, by Camillo Sitte. A quick look at google map seems to suggest the plan was not followed at all, but perhaps I'm reading it wrongly.
A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au

I have not been able to find out anything at all about the estate surrounding this IR but I am going to suggest it is a subdivision of land ...
The present name of the town is: Ostrava-Marianské Hory. Maybe this make the different.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maykel. I had actually figured this out only a few days ago - information from, firstly, a student and secondly CC Bohl and J-F Lejeune's Sitte, Hegemann and the Metropolis. I appreciate your contribution. Have you been there? DN
