Garden Cities are planned urban areas that combine the benefits of both city and countryside living. They were first proposed by Ebenezer Howard in the late 19th century as a solution to overcrowding in cities. These communities typically feature green spaces, parks, and gardens, promoting a healthy environment for residents. The design of Garden Cities emphasizes self-sufficiency, with residential, commercial, and agricultural areas integrated into one space. This approach aims to reduce urban sprawl and improve the quality of life by providing access to nature while maintaining essential services and amenities within a short distance.
