Garden city movement

The garden city movement is a method of urban planning that was initiated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom. Garden cities were intended to be planned, self-contained communities surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture.

Inspired by the utopian novel Looking Backward and Henry George's work Progress and Poverty, Howard published his book To-morrow: a Peaceful Path to Real Reform in 1898 (which was reissued in 1902 as Garden Cities of To-morrow). His idealised garden city would house 32,000 people on a site of 6,000 acres (2,400 ha), planned on a concentric pattern with open spaces, public parks and six radial boulevards, 120 ft (37 m) wide, extending from the centre. The garden city would be self-sufficient and when it reached full population, another garden city would be developed nearby. Howard envisaged a cluster of several garden cities as satellites of a central city of 250,000 people, linked by road and rail.

Garden City

You'll never know, you never really know,
when it's gonna turn out right.
I wanna live in a garden city,
marble and glass between heaven and hell.
I wanna dream when the lights go down,
I wanna save my soul don't wanna fuck around,
trading heaven for a living in a city made of gold.
I wanna be where the seasons change,
where you never just know when Christmas comes,
just to lie in a prison with our fingers on the buttons,
making crazy, crazy, crazy beneath the burning sun,
trading heaven for a living in the palace of the old.
Just know, never know, just know, never know, just never really know
when we're gonna come back.
yeah!
All of my friends could come around,
and I never really worry when Christmas comes,
and we'll really have some parties and we'll really tell some stories,
we're so crazy, crazy, crazy beneath the burning sun,
trading heaven for a living when your future is as good as sold,
trading heaven for a living when we'll never, never, never grow old.
He doesn't know, doesn't really know,
doesn't ever really know, you never really know,
when he's going to turn back.
I wanna live, in a garden city.
I wanna live, in a garden city.
I wanna live in a garden city,
