The Garden Cities of To-morrow

"The Garden Cities of To-morrow," written by Ebenezer Howard in 1898, presents a vision for urban planning that combines the benefits of town and country living. It advocates for self-contained communities surrounded by green belts, integrating homes, workplaces, and parks to promote healthy living. Howard's approach addresses urban overcrowding and pollution by proposing towns with balanced populations and ample nature, thereby improving residents' quality of life. His ideas laid the groundwork for modern urban design and influenced numerous city planning projects worldwide, promoting sustainability and livability in urban environments.
