Garden Cities of Tomorrow is a book written by Ebenezer Howard in 1902. The book is a treatise on urban planning, proposing a new model for urban development. Howard's vision of a garden city was a self-contained community surrounded by greenbelts, with a population of around 32,000 people. The city would be designed to be both beautiful and functional, with homes, shops, and workplaces all within easy walking distance.The book outlines Howard's ideas for the creation of garden cities, which he believed would provide a solution to the problems of overcrowding, pollution, and poor living conditions in the rapidly growing cities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Howard's vision was based on the idea of balancing the benefits of urban and rural living, creating a harmonious balance between the two.The book is divided into three parts. The first part outlines Howard's vision for the garden city, including its design, layout, and governance. The second part provides a detailed explanation of how the garden city would be financed and built, while the third part discusses the benefits of the garden city and its potential impact on society.Overall, Garden Cities of Tomorrow is an important work in the history of urban planning. It has influenced the development of many new towns and cities around the world, and its ideas continue to be relevant today as cities continue to grow and change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
