Garden Cities

Garden Cities are urban planning concepts developed in the late 19th century, primarily by Sir Ebenezer Howard. They aim to create self-contained communities surrounded by green belts, blending urban and rural living. Each Garden City is designed to incorporate residential areas, parks, and agricultural land, promoting a healthy environment and reducing overcrowding in cities. The idea is to provide affordable housing, sustainable transportation, and access to nature while fostering a sense of community. This model has influenced town planning worldwide, emphasizing sustainable development and improving quality of life for residents.
