This week JLGC staff attended with and supported visits by Okinawa Prefectural Government to Bedford Park in London, New Hall in Harlow, Letchworth Garden City and Poundbury in Dorset. Okinawa is particularly interested in learning from the example of the Garden Cities Movement in England in support of its future housing policies, particularly with regard to the challenge it faces concerning the use of land on vacated military bases.
JLGC would like to thank the Bedford Park Society, REAL studio, Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation and the Duchy of Cornwall for their assistance with the visits.
