"In 1898, the then unknown Ebenezer Howard proposed an experimental community as the alternative to huge, teeming cities. small, planned 'garden cities' girdled by greenbelts were to serve 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 urban changes and the rise of the suburbs. For nearly a century the Garden City movement has actively participated in an ongoing debate about the future of the modern city." (dj).
