Cité-Jardin Kapelleveld

Just begun getting to grips with this Belgian plan by Louis Van Der Swaelmen. The small circles within the blocks are, apparently, sandpits for infants. Here's a google translated footnote from Anne Lambrichs' 2001 article on Belgian 'garden cities': 'Van der Swaelmen included in the garden city many sports fields - exercise area, three tennis courts and a football field; it has prioritized traffic lanes according to a very complex system going from public to private: alleys bordered by low hedges, plantations and common gardens; small interior paths bordered by trees winding inside the islets and forming a secondary network allowing access to the playgrounds and interior courtyards, to cross the whole city, to remove litter without cluttering the streets, to repair water, gas and electricity pipes and hide the back of houses.'
Translated, sort of, from Anne Lambrichs, ‘Les Cités-Jardins en Belgique', Ciudades, 6 (2000-2001) p. 65.
