Garden Cities Of Tomorrow (1902) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164654933)

Garden Cities of Tomorrow is a book written by Ebenezer Howard and published in 1902. In this book, Howard presents his vision for a new type of urban planning, which he calls the Garden City. He argues that the problems of overcrowding, pollution, and poverty in cities can be solved by creating self-contained communities surrounded by green belts of agricultural land.Howard's Garden City is designed to be a balanced and sustainable community, with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The city is planned around a central park, with homes and public buildings arranged in concentric circles around it. The city is also designed to be pedestrian-friendly, with wide streets and plenty of green spaces.The book includes detailed plans and illustrations of Howard's Garden City, as well as descriptions of the social and economic benefits of this new type of urban planning. Howard argues that the Garden City will provide a healthier and more enjoyable living environment for its residents, as well as creating new opportunities for employment and community involvement.Garden Cities of Tomorrow is considered a landmark work in the history of urban planning, and it has influenced the design of cities around the world. It remains an important text for anyone interested in the history and theory of urban planning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
