The Garden City

The Garden City is a town planning concept introduced by Ebenezer Howard in the early 20th century, aiming to combine the best features of urban and rural areas. It envisions self-contained communities with ample green spaces, balanced population density, and integrated industries, promoting a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. These cities are designed to reduce urban congestion, pollution, and social issues by providing accessible nature, affordable housing, and efficient infrastructure. The idea has influenced urban development worldwide, emphasizing harmonious coexistence between human habitation and natural environments to improve quality of life.
