Metro-land (or Metroland) is a name given to the suburban areas that were built to the north-west of London in the counties of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Middlesex in the early part of the 20th century that were served by the Metropolitan Railway. The railway company was in the privileged position of being allowed to retain surplus land; from 1919 this was developed for housing by the nominally independent Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Limited (MRCE). The term "Metro-land" was coined by the Met's marketing department in 1915 when the Guide to the Extension Line became the Metro-land guide. It promoted a dream of a modern home in beautiful countryside with a fast railway service to central London until the Met was absorbed into the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933.

  • メトロ・ランド(英語: Metro-land)は20世紀初頭にロンドン北西部のバッキンガムシャー、ハートフォードシャー、そしてミドルセックス州にメトロポリタン鉄道が供給した郊外地域につけられた名称である。メトロポリタン鉄道は、余剰の土地を保持することができるという特権的な地位にあった。1919年からここは、名目上独立した「メトロポリタン鉄道地方不動産会社」(Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Limited)により、住宅地として開発された。「路線延伸ガイド」が1915年に「メトロ・ランドガイド」になったときに、メトロポリタン鉄道のマーケティング部門が「Metro-land」という言葉を造語した。メトロ・ランドガイドは、メトロポリタン鉄道が1933年にロンドン旅客運輸公社に吸収されるまで、ロンドン中心部への高速な鉄道サービスのある、美しい田園地方の中の現代的な住宅という夢を宣伝した。 (ja)

  • Metro-land (oder Metroland) beschreibt ein suburbanes Gebiet nordwestlich von London in den Grafschaften Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire und Middlesex, das im frühen 20. Jahrhundert von der Metropolitan Railway (Met) erschlossen wurde, der Vorgängergesellschaft der heutigen Metropolitan Line der London Underground. Die Met befand sich in einer rechtlich privilegierten Position, die es ihr erlaubte, überschüssige Grundstücke, die für den Bahnbau nicht benötigt worden waren, zu behalten. Ab 1919 führte die nominell zwar eigenständige, aber von der Met abhängige Metropolitan Railway Country Estates Limited umfangreiche Grundstückserschließungen durch und förderte so gezielt das Entstehen von Wohnsiedlungen. Der Begriff Metro-land wurde 1915 von der Marketingabteilung der Met kreiert und bezei (de)
