Garden City

Garden City is a planning concept developed in the early 20th century by Ebenezer Howard, aiming to create suburban communities that balance urban advantages with countryside tranquility. It combines features of cities—like jobs and amenities—with extensive green spaces and self-contained layouts to promote health, social interaction, and sustainability. The idea is to diminish urban congestion and pollution while providing residents with a high quality of life. Today, the principles of Garden City influence sustainable city planning, emphasizing integrated development, green infrastructure, and a harmonious balance between built environment and nature.
