Garden Cities Movement

The Garden Cities Movement, founded by Ebenezer Howard in the late 19th century, is an urban planning concept aimed at creating self-contained communities that combine the benefits of city and rural living. These cities are designed with organized layouts, green spaces, and accessible amenities to promote health, social interaction, and environmental sustainability. The idea is to avoid the problems of overcrowded urban areas and sprawling suburbs by integrating nature and community into urban design, fostering a balanced and harmonious environment where people can live, work, and enjoy outdoor spaces.
