Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an
unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where
he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous(灾难性的) fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the
Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later
building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the
1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but
creating a unique combination(结合) of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a
terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social
opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally
unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from
agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and
wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and
country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a
group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden
city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure
that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open
space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a
much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not
merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people
moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-----Howard suggested
32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over
time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost
without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and
services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid
transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of
a big city.
