Summary:ENG: Garden communities are urban interventions which, from the provision of building types based in the private garden and a strategic use of open spaces and facilities, seek the sense of community within the operation. The content of this article derives from an extensive survey that is located in the Catalan region, ranging from the late nineteenth century until 1960, when the private vehicle access by the society implies a substantial shift towards the idea of community and therefore, this model of design. This study shows that community gardens have the versatility to adapt to different cultural contexts, without losing its main identifying features, a fact which results in a wide range of projectual results, whose importance lies in the fact that it is a substantial precedent to support the growth of our actual cities.
