The Future of the Garden City; Notes; Bibliographical Essay; IndexFor nearly a century the Garden City movement has represented one end of a continuum in an ongoing debate about the future of the modern city. In 1898 Ebenezer Howard envisioned an experimental community as the alternative to huge, teeming cities. Small, planned ""garden cities"" girdled by greenbelts were to serve in time as the ""master key"" to a higher, more cooperative stage of civilization based on ecologically balanced communities. Howard soon founded an international planning movement which ever since has represented a remarkable blend of accommodation to and protest against urbanGarden citiesGarden citiesUnited StatesElectronic books.Garden cities.Garden cities307.76/8Buder Stanley896190MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449691603321Visionaries and planners2001903UNINA
