English Garden City

An "English Garden City" is a planned community designed to combine the benefits of urban living with access to green spaces. It emphasizes a balance of housing, industry, and nature, featuring parks, gardens, and open areas integrated with residential and commercial zones. The concept aims to create healthier, more attractive environments that promote community well-being, sustainability, and efficiency. Developed primarily in the early 20th century, Garden Cities like Letchworth and Welwyn in England sought to address the problems of overcrowded cities by encouraging self-sufficient, environmentally conscious developments surrounded by green belts.
