Letchworth Garden City
Ebenezer Howard
- Outline
- The overcrowding of workers and pollution caused by the Industrial Revolution were worsening the living environment in urban London. In response to these housing problems, Howard envisioned a utopia called "The Rural City. It is a small, self-sufficient city that is a "marriage" between a large city and a rural community. It was first realized in Letchworth, near London. Its construction provided the basic framework for city planning in the 20th century, even if it was not necessarily a perfect idea.
