Abstract

The colonial 1958 plan organized open green space and parks into a structured park system that was to address the social and ecological challenges posed by the rapid urban development of the island. The plan follows European expressions of park system implemented within the British ‘garden city’ ideology by integrating green belts, nature reserves and parks as a means to improve the physical and moral condition of urban citizens.
