Radburn, New Jersey was associated with which statements? (select the true set)

• A. 1,2,3
• B. 1,3,4
• C. 1,3
• D. All of the above

Answer: (C)

Radburn is a landmark example of planning that puts people and their safety first by rethinking street networks. The design separates pedestrian movement from vehicle traffic, creating a walkable, car-free pedestrian network within the neighborhood. At the same time, it uses a superblock concept, reducing through-traffic on residential streets and grouping homes around shared green spaces and a neighborhood core. Homes are often oriented toward internal courtyards and parks rather than directly toward the street, which reinforces a sense of community and calm within the living areas.

So, the statements that accurately reflect Radburn’s approach are the ones that describe this pedestrian-focused design and the use of a superblock layout with green, communal spaces. Statements that imply a traditional grid with through streets for cars or that place houses with direct street-facing orientation would not fit Radburn’s principles.
