Radburn design housing (also called Radburn housing, Radburn design, Radburn principle, or Radburn concept) is a concept for planned housing estates, based upon a design that was originally used in the community of Radburn within Fair Lawn, New Jersey, United States. The design is typified by the backyards of homes facing the street and the fronts of homes facing one another, over common yards.[1][2]
