Italian term

città per parti

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Urbanistica
I'm translating a quite technical article on town planning in the last century which includes this statement: "I quartieri residenziali nel secolo scorso erano stati costruiti con schemi urbanistici basati su una sperimentazione spaziale riconducibile all’idea di una “città per parti”". Reading here and there in internet, I have an idea of what this "città per parti" actually is, but I can't find the equivalent technical term in English (if it exists). Any idea? And thanks in advance.

Many thanks to you all for your suggestions, but I'll be closing the question without grading as the client has instructed me to cancel the reference altogether as "poco comprensibile" to the target audience. Sorry :-/.
Mary Carroll Richer LaFlèche Mar 14, 2018:
context could you give a bit more context please? otherwise it's a guessing game. If the article talks about housing developments it's important to understand a bit more.
Sarah Gregg (asker) Mar 13, 2018:
Nothing that I think is going to help much. Before the article talks about the large amounts of public money spent on housing developments after the war, then afterwards it talks about the speed with which these housing developments were constructed, often with low quality materials and technology. It then goes on to talk about quite different topics.

Peer comments on this reference comment:
agree Barbara Carrara : Hi, Rachel. So, apparently there is no official rendition for this one (both the refs I posted are also in relation to Aldo Rossi)...

Yes, actually I think "city by parts" might be best, as I've found it too.
