Summary
The settlement form which, in Zionism and Cosmopolitanism: Franz Oppenheimer and the Dream of a Jewish Future in Germany and Palestine, Franz Oppenheimer passed to Davis Trietsch, who became its main proponent within the Zionist movement and favoured garden cities as satisfying a supposed Jewish need for social cohesiveness while enabling agricultural self-sufficiency (PDF p.125, p.149).
Details
- Oppenheimer was ambivalent about introducing garden cities to Palestine because he feared allocated funds would come at the expense of his settlement cooperative (PDF p.125).
- Trietsch’s “Die Gartenstadt” appeared in Altneuland 2 (1905) (PDF p.149).
