Municipal legislatures would have to decide how to balance what a majority of neighbors could mandate for their block and what safeguards were necessary to protect the minority. They might also want to experiment with added incentives -- for example, providing reserved on-street parking for residents who give up back-yard garages for the sake of a block garden. 1, record 1, English, - block%20garden

«Un jardin d'îlot, tout le monde il en a un dernière chez lui» [...] [Le] reportage [...] attire l'attention sur les menaces pesant sur les jardins d'îlot. Face à leur disparition de plus en plus fréquente souvent pour des raisons de rentabilité immobilière, la Région bruxelloise s'est dotée en 1979 d'outils de protection comme le Plan de secteur ou les Commissions de Concertation, appelant donc les habitants à être vigilants et actifs. Outre leur valeur écologique, les jardins d'îlot sont, en effet, au cœur de la structuration urbaine de bien des quartiers bruxellois. Ils offrent un agréable cadre de vie et, parfois, des possibilités inattendues de rencontres, de jeux, de promenades ou repos. 2, record 1, French, - jardin%20d%27%C3%AElot

L'originalité des cités-jardins inventées en Angleterre tient dans la densité des équipements culturels, éducatifs, sportifs, de santé et dans la volonté d'établir un équilibre permanent avec la nature, ce qui leur donne encore maintenant une qualité de vie, un art de vivre incomparable. Les cités-jardins de la région parisienne où habitent plus de 50 000 personnes dès les années 30 sont issues d'une politique départementale d'urbanisme social et de logement social à grande échelle totalement nouvelle menée au début du siècle par Henri Sellier. Les architectes, un par cité-jardins, leur donnent une image concrète forte, une identité. 2, record 3, French, - cit%C3%A9%2Djardin
