​Help Us Preserve Our Historical Community!

Picture
Radburn, a planned community, was started in 1929 by the City Housing Corporation from the plans developed by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright. The concept of the "new town" grew out of the older planned communities in Europe and the work of Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes. The intent was to build a community which made provisions for the complexities of modern life, while still providing the amenities of open space, community service and economic viability.

Our Projects


The Master Plan

A Landscape Design Master Plan is a full-property design plan often accompanied by plant photos, reference photos, color renderings, and/or section drawings to fully convey the design concept. Some of the aspects of Marjorie Sewell Cautley’s original design have been lost, there are erosion and drainage issues and well as deteriorated paths. This plan will help us identify the problems and will give us plan to fix them.

The Tunnel

Picture
The  existing  tunnel  under  Howard  Ave.  connecting  A  and  B  parks  consists  of  a  masonry  structure  with  a  concrete slab.    The  exterior  masonry  requires  repair  mostly  in  the  form  of  pointing  of  masonry  joints  between  the  stones  and  is  generally  overall  fair  condition.    The  slab;  however,  within  the  tunnel  contains  cracks  and  heaved  sections  that create  trip  hazards.    In  addition,  the  existing  drainage  means,  while  functional  are  typically  inundated  with  soil washout  from  the  slopes  directly  adjacent  to  and  outside  of  the  tunnel  walls.

The Parks

Picture
A lot of the original design and species composition has been lost through the years and deviate from the Marjorie Sewell Cautley’s original design. The parks need to be replanted, the Association is working closely with tree experts on a tree plan, including an index of the trees.
