Synopsis
This book outlines the key principles of the garden city concept, a vision for self-contained urban areas that combine industry and agriculture, and are designed to promote a healthier, more balanced way of life. The author argues that traditional cities, with their large populations, pollution, and often poor housing, do not provide the best environment for human well-being or economic prosperity. As an alternative, they propose a model that integrates urban and rural living, offering the benefits of both worlds while avoiding the drawbacks of each. The book discusses the importance of careful planning to ensure that gardens, homes, factories, and public spaces all work together harmoniously. It also emphasizes the role of community ownership and involvement in creating a sustainable and equitable environment. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling vision for a future where cities are designed to enhance human life and well-being, offering a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing debate about urban planning.
