Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to trace the reception of Howard's widely disseminated ideas in early twentieth century Palestine and their influence on Ottoman era urban development (up to 1917), particularly in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Tiberias and Jerusalem. In addition, it offers some glimpses of garden city development during the British Mandatory regime (1922-1948), most notably in the 1920s and during the Second World War, not ignoring relevant developments within the contemporary Arab sector. This chapter draws heavily on primary sources and its contribution lies in the synoptic view it offers of various case studies by means of brief comparisons. From the very beginning, garden city concepts offered more than an alternative to the industrial cities of Europe, which in contemporary Palestine did not as yet exist. They rather provided a recourse from unsuitable living conditions in the old towns after centuries of haphazard planning by the Ottoman regime. These modern garden city concepts also served the Zionist ideological aspirations and practical needs long before their application in Palestine by the British regime. They physically exemplified, for instance, the importance accorded by Zionism to an evolving national life and cultural community in Ottoman and Mandate Palestine.
