Ebenezer Howard

Ebenezer Howard was an English urban planner and social reformer best known for founding the garden city movement in the late 19th century. He proposed a new type of community that combined the benefits of both city living and rural environments. His vision involved creating self-contained towns surrounded by green spaces, integrating residential areas, industry, and agriculture to promote health and well-being. Howard's ideas influenced urban planning and the development of suburbs, emphasizing sustainable living and the connection between people and nature. His landmark book, "To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform," outlined these principles.
