Embracing a critical retrospective view, this article examines the ideological and actual developments of Garden City concepts in the northern (North-West) and southern (South-East) hemispheres. It elaborates on the transnational histories and contemporary manifestations of the Garden City phenomenon in a variety of urban planning cultures, with a particular emphasis on Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa. In an effort to de-Eurocentrize the research literature through a wide extra-European historiographic emphasis, the article broadly characterizes stylistic implementations on a regional basis. It also explores the dissemination of Garden City terminology within the current urban discourse of social and environmental sustainability
