Garden City Movement

The Garden City Movement is an urban planning concept that originated in the late 19th century, primarily associated with the ideas of Sir Ebenezer Howard. It promotes the creation of self-contained communities surrounded by green belts, integrating the benefits of rural and urban living. These communities are designed to provide housing, workspaces, and parks, reducing overcrowding in cities while fostering social connections and sustainable development. The movement aims to create healthier environments and improve the quality of life by balancing urbanization with nature, influencing modern city planning and development practices worldwide.
