Bachelor thesis "Garden towns in the northwest of Prague in the 1920s" deals with the urban phenomenon of garden towns within the construction of the northwestern sector of Great Prague. The aim is to map the situation of selected garden towns in comparison with the original conception of Ebenzer Howard and some foreign realizations that, whether successfully or not have transformed this utopian conception into reality. It is also important to mention the overall urban situation of Prague after the creation of a regulatory plan in the 1920s. The work deals in detail with specific realizations of residential areas in today's city district of Prague 6 - Ořechovka, Hanspaulka and Vokovice. Emphasis is placed on the comparison of the ideal garden city with the realization of the so-called "garden suburbs" of Great Prague and outlining the main differences between them.
