In this project, the Garden City idea with the motto “Light, Air, Space” is to be preserved and enhanced to adapt to current needs. The aim is to create a safe and vibrant community for young people by transforming the courtyard and the streets while restoring and modifying the existing building blocks. To tackle with the existing social problems in the public spaces of Landlust, the green spaces and circulation have to be improved. This is done by intorducing a new network of external circulation routes in the courtyard. With this new continuous route, the goal is to improve the safety in the public spaces in landlust, as well as to enhance the relationship between individuals and the greeneries. This theoretical approach is inspired by the urban planning theories of Jane Jacobs that by increasing the visibility of public spaces from all directions, the safety in the neighbourhood could be improved because the streets are surveilled by residents. in the new design, the courtyard becomes more attractive and convenient to use. Thus, there are more chances for social interaction
